00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:08.519
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. It's
written three times on a page, so

2
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:11.839
I said it three times. Hi. Hey guys, this is Season three,

3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:16.960
Episode one of the Unofficial Official Story. I'm Dwayne and I'm pretty stoked,

4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.920
and I'm Koji and I'm excited about
the new season, and I'm the

5
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:25.480
new host cat Alvarado, and I'm
relieved that this wasn't a whole plot to

6
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:32.759
murder me in the background. Right, Well, don't speak too soon.

7
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:37.719
Yeah, the day is out over. I really elaborate. I watched way

8
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:42.079
too much True crimes, but I
just think everything's a plot to secretly get

9
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:46.280
me. It's a problem being a
New Yorker. I'm not mad at that.

10
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.560
That's how you should think it's safe. Yes. Absolutely. Unfortunately,

11
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.880
our original third member of this group, Jennifer, isn't able to continue being

12
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.439
a permanent host on the show anymore. Although she won't be on every month,

13
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.640
you'll still hear from her from time
to time. Jennifer, we love

14
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.520
you and can't wait to have you
back on soon. This is a podcast

15
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.959
where we tell you the official story. We look at the paranormal conspiracies,

16
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.519
unexplained phenomena, cryptids and true crime
and by the end, we'll tell you

17
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:17.959
what really maybe happy you can take
it to the bank, but the monopoly

18
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.879
bank. Yeah, And on her
birthday. In this episode, we're asking

19
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.159
the question, is the earth flat
hollow? Or has it been sucked into

20
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:29.599
a black hole? Don't don't,
don't now. Usually this is a way.

21
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.400
Is that a copyrighted music that we
just played? No? Absolutely,

22
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.959
Okay, it's not even music.
How don't we get elevated to that?

23
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.239
To that level? Usually this is
where we chat with our guests. But

24
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.120
since we have a new host,
we thought we'd get to know Cat.

25
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.439
Cat Alvarado is an award winning stand
up comedian, writer, and actress.

26
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:52.159
She's been seen on LMAO and PBS's
First Nations Comedy Experience and perform to some

27
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.280
of the nation's top comedy festivals.
Kat is about to release our first comedy

28
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.840
album, Congrats off White Blonde Medicine. What a great name, Cat is

29
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.239
all so they create a The Villains
of History podcast, which is a mashup

30
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:07.879
of history and true crime. She's
made numerous appearances on the popular Real Rejects

31
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:12.520
YouTube channel, which she offers reactions
and analysis on ghosts and hauntings. On

32
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:17.879
an ongoing spiritual quest desperately wants to
experience the paranormal with fancial skeptical tendencies often

33
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.479
get in the way. Welcome,
Hi, I'm so excited to be here.

34
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.080
This is like the perfect podcast.
Well, tell me what what paranormal

35
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.919
experience do you want to experience?
Else? I want a ghost I want

36
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.039
an undeniable ghost experience. You've never
had a ghost experience? I mean I

37
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:38.400
have, but they're always deniable,
Like there's always like the ghost is like

38
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:45.120
woo, maybe not pretty much.
And I'm like the worst skeptic. I

39
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:46.639
hate it. I wish that wasn't
me, and yet that is me.

40
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:52.039
Like my one haunting experience I was. I still lived with an ax of

41
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:57.439
mine and he had experiencing like a
bottle of a gallon of water fly across

42
00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:59.879
the room. I wasn't home,
I didn't see it. But he's like,

43
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.000
I think our apartment's haunted. I
think it's haunted. I'm like,

44
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:07.080
no, it's not. Until one
night we start hearing rustling of like bags,

45
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.840
like plastic bags coming from the kitchen. Our cats were in the bathroom.

46
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.319
That's why we would lock them.
We had a studio apartment, we'd

47
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.800
have to like lock them in the
bathroom at night so that they would sleep

48
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.520
in there and not make noise.
So the plastic bags from the kitchen were

49
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.840
like, it's not the cats,
what could it be? And I have

50
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.759
no explanation for what it was because
I leaned forward and I saw that the

51
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:30.199
bags were in the middle of the
kitchen and the cupboard was wide open where

52
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.280
I normally keep the bags. So
how did they get like five feet away

53
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.919
from the cupboard into the middle of
the kitchen floor. That's crazy, I

54
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.719
mean, that's yeah. Again,
that's not as strong as a gallon of

55
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:45.960
milk flying across the room. But
what about aliens? You want to see

56
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:47.680
aliens? Or I do want to
see aliens. But on the note to

57
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:53.240
wrap up that haunting, I think
it was rats? Rats? Oh right,

58
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:55.280
a rat? Now? Was it
a rat or a mouse? Who

59
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.840
was you know, possessed by a
ghost? Perhaps maybe a family member or

60
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:02.439
something who's coming back as a rat? Right right? Try to tell me

61
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.960
something. No one, No one
had recently died, so I don't think

62
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.000
it was anybody who like But do
you have a family member who like love

63
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.959
plastic bags or something? Who shot
that vone? No bad ladies. Well

64
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.360
would how would it change your life
if you saw one? Undeniably? I

65
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:26.279
think I'd find myself forced to be
religious in some way interesting, And that's

66
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:30.480
what happened to my ex. He
became super super religious because of his saw

67
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.040
ghosts, because of his haunting experience. Yeah, he got super It sounds

68
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:38.079
like you want to be proven wrong
in a sense, yeah, and you

69
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.279
want to seek religion, but you
need some sort of a sign first,

70
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.160
kind of a little bit. I
would say that's very close to how I

71
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.680
feel something along those lines. Now, if I saw aliens, which would

72
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.279
be cool, I think that would
be more terrifying because we don't know if

73
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.560
they want to kill us. They
probably do, right, I mean,

74
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.600
if you take the whole Columbus,
all right, that usually does it end

75
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.839
well for the species that's lower,
right, But except Columbus didn't know when

76
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.279
he was going to find right,
So I'm assuming if aliens can make it

77
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.079
here, they know we're here already. That's true, you know, So

78
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.920
maybe they don't wish this home,
because if they did, we would and

79
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.480
see him. You don't know this, but Asians are actually the gray aliens.

80
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:21.399
So we've made episodes about that.
Really there's this whole stereotype about how

81
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.560
the gray Aliens are hairless and small
and smart, which are all stereotypes for

82
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.600
Asian people, And so there are
people online who believe that the Asians are

83
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.439
secrets of the great descendants of the
are the descendants of Yeah, that's it's

84
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.680
weird. So Kat, why don't
you tell us a little bit about where

85
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.839
did you grow up and how did
you get into comedy? And right now,

86
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.560
I grew up here in Los Angeles
in the valley, so I'm like

87
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.680
a towny. I'm an absolute Los
Angeles townies from here here. I've pretty

88
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.600
much lived here forever and almost never
left southern California. And how did you

89
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:54.360
decide to become a writer, actor, comedian? I always love comedy growing

90
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.360
up. It was something my dad
and I bonded about because he was a

91
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.519
huge, huge Carlin fan, Leno
fan, and so we'd listened to that

92
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.279
as a kid, like just in
the car driving to the zoo or whatever

93
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:08.000
it was Carlin, which I didn't
understand what I was listening to, but

94
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.079
like dad loved it, and as
I got older, the treat was like,

95
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.120
Okay, if you're good, if
you get good grades, I'll let

96
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.560
you stay up and watch Leno Wow
nice and so Sanna was always a big

97
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.000
part of my life. And when
I was in my early twenties, I

98
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.720
was going through a rough time and
my therapist was like, how about you

99
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.560
try something that you've always wanted to
do but you never had the guts to

100
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.839
try, just to get you out
of this funk. It's like okay.

101
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.879
So I asked a friend who ran
a little show in the back of a

102
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.600
pizza shop up in Santa Barbara if
I could do a spot. He's like,

103
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.920
oh, nice. Nice. He's
like sure, but you know,

104
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.800
if you bomb, like it's okay, Like people bomb all the time.

105
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.720
Like he was really like building it
up that I was definitely gonna bomb.

106
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:49.560
I was supposed to just do five
minutes, and they were like, yeah,

107
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:51.879
she's gonna bomb. And then I
went up and then I crushed it.

108
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.560
They let me do eight minutes and
I was like, oh my god,

109
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.480
eight minutes you first set, Yeah, that's orageous. That really is

110
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.720
destroyed. It was an amazing eight
minutes. And everybody was like what just

111
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.839
happened? And I was like,
good question. I don't know either,

112
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.920
And so I had to keep doing
it and ye, I feel like comedy

113
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.680
is like a drug in a sense, especially when you when you do well

114
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.879
in the first time out and that
adrenaline fuels you because then you're getting back

115
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.560
to the first time. Yeah,
you know. Yeah, and somehow I

116
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.720
think like the first two years I
did not bomb. Nice. Oh well,

117
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.040
okay, I went years before I
bombed for the first time, which

118
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.399
is wild. I bombed my second
time. Yeah. But but but to

119
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.720
be fair to other comics were doing
something behind me too. It was sort

120
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.480
of a little bit of hazing,
a little bit of hazing, but it

121
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.879
was fun. Yeah, that's great, that's amazing. How do you How

122
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.519
do your parents feel about your career? My dad's so proud. Oh good.

123
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.160
He loves because he's just a stand
up fan. So it's like the

124
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.959
best thing in the whole wide world
is for me to be a stand up

125
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.720
just like Carlin. And in his
eyes, I'm like the funniest comic.

126
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.240
Like he'll watch anybody on Netflix and
be like, I don't know why you

127
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.920
don't have Netflix. Sure, that
was terrible. That's such a unique I

128
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.920
don't know if you talk about it
on a stage, but that is like

129
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.399
my mom was, Okay, with
me doing comedy, but it kind of

130
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.720
snuck up on her. And in
most comics it's like their parents had to

131
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.240
learn to be okay with it.
So like you having someone who a dad

132
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.399
who just was on board from day
one, that's super unique. I've never

133
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.959
heard that before. My mom is
the opposite though, so she makes up

134
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.279
for all my dad's support by being
like, you need to quit. You

135
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.439
need to hide your comic. Take
it off all of your social media,

136
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.319
take it off all of your dating
apps. No one should know that you're

137
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.679
a comic. I'm like, that's
not how it works. You have to

138
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.360
tell everybody. Well, my mom
told me when I decided to be a

139
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.440
writer. She said, well,
that's not my life. You could do

140
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.080
whatever you want. And I was
like, okay, I mean I don't

141
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.360
think that's support. But that's also
not saying no either. But it's not

142
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:48.000
like arousing, like you should go
for it. Kind of got a thing,

143
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.240
which I think I was looking for
at the time, But that's not

144
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:58.720
bad. Yeah, really, I
think it's an immigrant parent thing. Are

145
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.320
your first duration My mom is as
well. She's from Nicaraguash, she's a

146
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.279
Latina, And yeah, I think
for them, like life is about like

147
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.039
survival. There's very much that you
need. You need to make money.

148
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.320
Are you kidding? Like how could
you risk your survival? Whereas for a

149
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:20.039
lot of white people it's like,
I don't know, do what you want?

150
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.559
All right, Well, let's get
the story straight once and for yeah,

151
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.799
let's do it. Is the world
flect? According to a Yugo pool,

152
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:37.879
two thirds of Americans aged between eighteen
and twenty four believe the world is

153
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.919
round. If you're not good at
math, that means one third do not.

154
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.200
Is that crazy? By the way, it's absolutely that two thirds of

155
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:46.879
the people believe the world I mean, I don't know that's crazy. I

156
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.960
mean, are they either undecided or
do they really like seriously believe it's not

157
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.879
I was trying to find the actual
question just just maybe it's like a confusing

158
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.639
question like do they do not not
believe or something? You know, do

159
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.159
you know you think it's flat or
you're saying, we don't know if it's

160
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.759
flat, we don't know if it's
around, bro, you know, Yeah,

161
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.600
Well what's challenging. And here's the
thing is, I don't talk about

162
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.200
this a lot, but I my
day job for a long time as I

163
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.799
work in market research. I've been
a statistician for many years, and one

164
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.519
of the challenges in research is asking
questions that people will answer honestly, because

165
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.600
if they feel like there's any shame
in their response, they're going to say

166
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.080
no, no, no, no. So if it was asked like,

167
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.679
hey, do you believe the Earth
is flat, and they're embarrassed, they're

168
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.399
going to say, of course,
I don't believe the Earth is flat.

169
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:41.399
So if anything, I would say
these numbers might be skewed even more people

170
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.360
think it's flat. Yes, I
would say more people think it's flat based

171
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.679
off of biases that people tend to
not answer honestly if they feel any shame

172
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:54.320
about it. The flat Earth theory
has existed for a long time before we

173
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.600
even knew that the Earth was round, But this theory popped up again in

174
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.720
early nineteenth century England, and in
the nineteen fifties yet again in England,

175
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.679
and now it's popping up again right
now in the Internet age. First thing

176
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.399
you must know about the theory is
that everyone is lying if you want to

177
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.159
these people right, especially the scientists
and the astronauts. The Earth does not

178
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.480
rotate and that gravity is just an
illusion. So when you drop your pencil,

179
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.960
you're just thinking it drops. I
don't even know how to explain that.

180
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.279
Yeah, how could it be?
And I want to hop in and

181
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:33.279
point out this whole idea that everyone
is lying, like that's actually connected to

182
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:39.159
this skepticism of institutions in general,
which is often linked back to either anti

183
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:45.799
Semitism or generally fascistic tendencies. So, and the crazy thing about that is

184
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.919
that, like, there are people
who have more than a reason not to

185
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.519
believe in institutions. But it's black
people, yeah, in degenous people,

186
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:58.519
yeah, yeah, gay people,
women, And it's usually the people who've

187
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.279
kind of benefited from the institution that
think, like, oh, they were

188
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.720
against us. Like I'm a Warriors
fan, you know, before the dynasty,

189
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.519
as soon as Mark Jackson went there. But whenever they play Memphis or

190
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:11.720
a lot of teams, Memphis especially, they're like the reps hate us,

191
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.200
and I'm watching the game, I'm
like, no, you guys are getting

192
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.120
all the calls because if not,
Golden State is going to blow out most

193
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.200
teams. You have two guys who
can shoot threes, so they're actually doing

194
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.799
things to keep the game close in
your favor. But you're you're complaining the

195
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:28.720
most, Like Luca does that a
little bit because it's a great player.

196
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.480
But it's like it's like, dude, you shoot more free throws than anyone

197
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.960
else, So how could how could
they be against you? Yeah? And

198
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.440
also what is what's the benefit from
the line. That's the thing that like

199
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.639
I'm gonna make control but like,
yeah, I'm very skeptical of you know,

200
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.039
institutions. But okay, it's it's
flat. Let's say it's flat,

201
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.399
but you're telling me it's around.
What does that do for you? There's

202
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.120
nothing, there's nothing to gain.
I don't pay a round earth tax,

203
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.360
you know what I mean? Well, I think if your theory starts with

204
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:00.639
everyone is lying either you know,
there's only two answers. You're either crazy

205
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.519
or you're right right, right right. It's like that that old wo the

206
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.399
Island joke in one of his movies
and he's talking to someone and a friend

207
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.960
is talking to with the island and
his character and they go, you know

208
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.879
this name for someone who thinks everyone
is against him? He goes, yeah,

209
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:22.440
perceptive. Here are the three most
common models for what the Earth looks

210
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.279
like. According to the flat earth
theory, the Earth is a disc and

211
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:30.759
the stars, moon and Sun rotate
around it. It's kind of like similar

212
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.279
to what we thought many mini moons
ago. Secondly, the Earth is flat

213
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:39.000
and the moon and the Sun only
three thousand ish miles above the ground.

214
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.879
Third one is Earth is a disc
and Anarctica is on the outer edges and

215
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.720
goes on forever. Yeah, that's
the most common one, isn't it.

216
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.000
I thought it's like you, when
you go, you go basically it's flat,

217
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.039
but if you go all the way
to the right or left, you

218
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.159
get zapped back to the other side. I've heard that something like that,

219
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.679
but most of them that it just
keeps going. Ma if you go that

220
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.519
way or one way or the other, you just keep going. So that's

221
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.960
more probable that it's just this flat
thing that goes on forever. Here's some

222
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.559
of the claims that fat earthers have
proved the Earth is indeed flat. These

223
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.519
were taken from a USA Today article
link in the show notes. First,

224
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.840
Earth isn't curved or moving air pressure
couldn't exist without a container. The Earth

225
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:20.120
is flat because cities cannot be upside
down. Okay, I'm not sure why

226
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.360
they would think that, but okay, lack of stars and space photos means

227
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.000
that they were created with a green
screen. Obviously, the moon is visible

228
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.279
in the daytime improves, the Earth
is flat, and photos appearing to show

229
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.120
clouds behind the sun suggested it orbits. The Earth isn't millions of miles away.

230
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.919
Wow, Yeah, there's a lot
there clouds behind the sun. I

231
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.639
don't know. I don't think I've
ever ever ever seen that in my whole

232
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.080
life. I haven't seen it in
a photo either. Yeah, I don't

233
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.600
even know how to explain that.
I think it's probably not a cloud,

234
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.720
right, it's probably some other thing
that they're calling a cloud. Yeah,

235
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.159
I don't think it's a cloud.
I don't think that exists, because just

236
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.559
about every cloud, if it's in
front of the sun, it makes there

237
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.360
be a shadow, right right.
Yeah. So who are the most famous

238
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:03.159
people who are known flat earthers.
Obviously there's Kyrie Irving, Bob Shaquille O'Neal,

239
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.279
which that one surprised me. I
had no ideas Shack was I have,

240
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:13.480
I had more respect. But actually
Kyrie, I think back okay,

241
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.080
or he just said it publicly?
Yeah, yeah, I think because they

242
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.320
threatened him enough. I think he
just got teased enough. But he explained

243
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.360
why he went down this rat hole. And yeah, so Shock is the

244
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.679
new owner of Papa John's. I
wonder if the Papa John's board was like,

245
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:33.320
look, you cannot buy Papa John's
unless you have some batshit belief.

246
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.600
I guess will be a flat earth, because racist wouldn't make sense. Yeah,

247
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.840
Tila Tequila is she a star though
I haven't heard her do anything since

248
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.320
like two dominated my space? Right, yeah, my space that's a while

249
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:54.679
ago. Sorry, what's my space? I'm not that young? Draymond Green

250
00:15:54.919 --> 00:16:00.279
and Paris Jackson? Is that Michael
Jackson's son daughter? Yeah, I'm not

251
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.000
sure which tell what. She had
a weird childhood, so we can't blame

252
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:08.720
her. That's so. And now
for the third season, this is fun.

253
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.080
I like this a lot. Call
you this is solid. For third

254
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.120
season, we have a new segment
on our show. Since we are in

255
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.200
the age of AI, Let's ask
chat GPT what it thinks chat GPT?

256
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.600
Is the Earth flat? No,
the Earth is not flat. The overwhelming

257
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:30.120
scientific evidence, supported by centuries of
observation and experimentation, clearly shows that the

258
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:36.440
Earth is a roughly spherical shape.
This evidence includes observations of the Earth's curved

259
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:41.279
shadow during lunar eclipses, the fact
that the horizon appears to dip below eye

260
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.519
level at higher altitudes, and the
measurements of the Earth's circumference by ancient Greek

261
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:52.120
astronomers and modern satellite technology. Denying
the roundness of the Earth is a conspiracy

262
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.360
theory that has been debunked by science. Is the Earth hollow? The first

263
00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:00.000
incident we can find that the people
postulate the Earth might be hallow was way

264
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.640
way way back in the late seventeenth
century. Here's a quote taken from the

265
00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:10.039
Politiff Polity fact link in the show
notes. Edmund Haley proposed to the Royal

266
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:15.599
Society of London in the sixteen nineties
that the Earth consisted of nested spherical shells

267
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.400
that spun in different directions and surrounded
a central core. Haley thought the space

268
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:26.359
between shells mayhab had luminous atmospheres that
might have supported life. Is that describing

269
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:33.440
like ball bearings? Kind of that's
what it sounds like. Oh, that

270
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.839
reminds me of like JRR Tolkien and
like Middle Earth, Like this is kind

271
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:49.759
of related to that or or King
Kong. Are there creatures? Yeah?

272
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.319
But I'm like, did he even
have evidence for that. Is he just

273
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.359
like coming up with stuff because I
don't know what it feels good, like

274
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.839
it's crazy. And then what does
hallow mean? Like what kind of a

275
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.839
like if it's just like a foot
like this stuff stuff stuff stuff. So

276
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.359
that's not what he said here,
but if it stuff stuff stuf sup stuff.

277
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:10.480
And then there's a hollow chord that's
just like a basketball? Is that

278
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:14.960
hollow? You see what I'm saying. But he sounds like there's like planets

279
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.279
within the planet. I mean,
I don't hold anything against Edmund Haley only

280
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:21.400
because back in the sixteen nineties,
I mean they didn't know a lot.

281
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:26.240
We thought swimming made you a witch. They didn't have seizemic or like they

282
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.559
couldn't. Yeah, they could have
go looked down everybody. What interests me

283
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:30.920
about this though, is that,
you know, six hundred fears from now,

284
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:36.160
what are they going to look at
what we believe and say those guys

285
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:45.599
were so primotives, weren't aliens.
It was staring at you in the face

286
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.400
of the whole time. One Asian
coach was telling you the whole time.

287
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:56.640
The basic theory for is earth hollow
goes like this, this is taken directly

288
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.920
from the University of Alaska's website in
the show notes. Of course, the

289
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:06.720
crux of hollow earth theory is that
the Earth is a shell with walls about

290
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:11.079
eight hundred miles thick. In the
polar regions, there are holes fourteen hundred

291
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:18.759
miles across with edges that curve smoothly
from the outside of the shell around to

292
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:23.440
the inside. A sea or surface
traveler could proceed over the edge of a

293
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:27.039
hole like an ant crawling over the
lip of a coffee mug, from the

294
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:32.519
outside to the inside, and not
be aware that he was actually entering the

295
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:36.960
interior of the Earth. Bernard explains
that the holes have never been seen from

296
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.960
the air because pilots are fooled by
their compasses into believing they are crossing the

297
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:48.319
pole when they are actually following the
hole's magnetic rim. Thus, aircraft never

298
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.440
really fly over the geographic poles,
which naturally mark the centers of the holes

299
00:19:52.680 --> 00:20:02.039
themselves. How convenient anything you have
that can measure things is right? Actually,

300
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.359
the like google one the picture of
it, because I'm looking at the

301
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:07.720
pictures and I still can't really picture
it, you know what I mean?

302
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:12.039
So what's in the home. There's
a lot of debate. Some have argued

303
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:15.799
that there are giant animals, dinosaurs, or maybe King Kong, like Coji

304
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:21.680
was saying, we read about a
super advanced alien civilization where people lived for

305
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:26.440
eight hundred years. Others believe there
was an ancient Viking civilization, and some

306
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.200
even think the Nazison has been hiding
out there since the second one. I

307
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.200
mean, I love, I love
Nazis, not not in the Nazi sort

308
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.400
of way. But my agent and
I have a joke that the first thing

309
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:40.640
whenever I turn in a script that's
a spec script. So Tony now hired

310
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.000
me. The first question you asked
me is are there Nazi jokes or Nazis

311
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:47.160
in the right right And my answer
is yes. His first thing is you

312
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:52.240
have to get rid of it rights
like a Nazi joke in that and then

313
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:53.519
I have to like take it out
because sometimes it's like non appropriate. I

314
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:56.359
mean most of the time it's not
appropriate, but there's always like a Nazi

315
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.920
reference, not like a not pro
Nazi joke obviously like a yeah, anti

316
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.559
naz joke, but I love like
talking about Nazis. So now that this

317
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.440
has a Nazi joke, Nazi thing, this is. This is definitely my

318
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.079
my favorite theory. One joke that
I feel like we've done on the game

319
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.039
show, but I don't think it's
ever made it to air, but we

320
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:17.799
whenever it is Nazis. It's a
joke that someone makes and we write it

321
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:19.920
in a database. But it doesn't
seem to go anyway. But the joke

322
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.480
would go something like this like,
oh, Nazis, I did not see

323
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:29.079
that coming. That's it. So
I had to be here from that,

324
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:36.759
I can't see it, but I'm
cringing. So who are the famous people

325
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:41.119
who believe that the Earth is hollow? Wow? We couldn't find any,

326
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:44.200
so but if you know any,
please let us know because I'd love to

327
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:48.319
find out anybody who does. Well. Ask chat GPT again what they think

328
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.279
chat GPT is the Earth hollow?
No, the Earth is not hollow.

329
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.680
The Earth is a solid, rocky
planet with a layered structure that includes a

330
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.720
solid inner core, a liquidator core, a mantle, and a crust.

331
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:07.400
This structure has been extensively studied and
confirmed by various scientific methods, including seismic

332
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.519
waves that proplagate through the Earth in
the behavior of the Earth's magnetic field.

333
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.440
Additionally, the laws of physics stick
hit. Then a hollow earth would not

334
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.599
be able to maintain its shape or
stability, as it would collapse under the

335
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.599
force of gravity. Therefore, the
idea of a hollow earth is a myth

336
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:29.759
that has no scientific basis. Your
last theory has the Earth been sucked into

337
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.240
a black hole? So this is
a fun one, but conspiracy goes something

338
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:41.480
like this. When good scientists at
the European Organization for Nuclear Research AKACERN discovered

339
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.240
the Higgs boson, we had no
idea what that is, so we googled

340
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.960
it and found this explanation on the
Department of Energy website, which, to

341
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.920
be honest, we're still not really
sure what I mean, but here you

342
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:56.039
go, the Higgs boson. The
Higgs boson is the fundamental particle associated with

343
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:02.400
the Higgs field, a field that
gives men us to other fundamental particles such

344
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:07.839
as electrons and quarks. A particle's
mass determines how much it resists changing its

345
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:12.119
speed or position when it encounters a
force. So there you go. I

346
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:15.319
think it's is equivalent to the God
particle. Yes, yeah, yes,

347
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:19.599
so I think it's just like maybe
the smallest piece of sort of matter that

348
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.920
we've ever, you know, because
before the smallest thing was like I guess

349
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:29.839
the nucleus or electrons would yeah yeah. But now we've we've gone deeper,

350
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.200
smaller than quarks. Yeah yeah,
yeah anny much so. Okay, So

351
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:40.160
when they discovered the Higgs boson,
they accidentally created a black hole, essentially

352
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.559
ending the world in two thousand and
twelve. Crazy thing is we still have

353
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:49.160
not realized it. I don't do
The thing is I think because Prince saying

354
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.640
about nineteen ninety nine, I don't
think this would have happened in twenty and

355
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.240
twelve because the Prince. I think
Prince would have been on this and the

356
00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:02.039
song would have been two party,
like it's two thou twelve. Very possible,

357
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:04.319
very possible. But I do want
to chime in and say something about

358
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:07.839
black holes. Now, my source
is actually just my ex boyfriend, but

359
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:12.000
he's very smart. You can fact
check me. But what he told me,

360
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.640
because I was scared, like I
would started having this anxiety. I'm

361
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:18.440
like, what if they make a
black hole and we all get sucked into

362
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.279
it? What he said is the
black holes that they make at CERN are

363
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:25.400
so tiny that like the gravity all
around us makes them collapse. In on

364
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:30.000
themselves in a matter of seconds.
So the concern that CERN would make a

365
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.359
black hole that would suck us all
in is very much unfounded. But isn't

366
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.640
that what a certain sidist will say, Are you sure can work for CERN?

367
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:40.519
He didn't, but he is a
former marine and so who knows,

368
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:44.759
maybe he works with the military.
Wouldn't that be a very violent kind of

369
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.200
thing or reaction? Like, oh
absolutely, if we got sucked into a

370
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:51.680
real black hole, like a big
one, like you would die instantly because

371
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:55.359
the mass and the gravity, if
it basically like crushes everything. Pretty sure

372
00:24:55.640 --> 00:25:00.319
again, y'all can fact check me. Are just things Cat knows in her

373
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:04.640
brain and forgot where she read them. Those are the best things, according

374
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:08.279
to Popular Mechanics article, Some people
believe that the good folks at CERN are

375
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:14.240
using the large Hadron collider open a
portal hell, or that the very least

376
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:18.079
the collider is one of the seventh
feels the apocalypse, which will also a

377
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.240
leash hell on Earth here. Others
believe the scientists are attempting to summon God

378
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:26.720
or time travel like the time travel
one who are famous people known to believe

379
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.119
that the Earth has been sucked into
a black hole. Again, we were

380
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.160
unable to find any celebrity who believes
this. If you're a celebrity, you

381
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.599
don't want the world to stop you. You're wanting you living your best life

382
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.000
right again. If you know anyone
who believes this, please please let us

383
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:47.799
know. Finally, let's ask chat
GPT what they think. Chat my man,

384
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:51.599
my mellow. Has the Earth been
sucked into a black hole? No,

385
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:55.480
the Earth has not been sucked into
a black hole. If the Earth

386
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:59.519
were to be sucked into a black
hole, we would see some very significant

387
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:03.200
and note visible effects, including changes
in the Earth's orbit and the behavior of

388
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.640
objects in our solar system. There
are no indications that such effects are occurring,

389
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.960
and all available evidence suggests that the
Earth is not in danger of being

390
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:17.880
sucked into a black hole. Black
Holes are incredibly massive objects that warp space

391
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:21.759
and time around them, but they
are also very far away from our solar

392
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:26.079
system, and it is extremely unlikely
that the Earth will ever come close enough

393
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:29.160
to a black hole to be pulled
in. Thank you, Chad GPT.

394
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:33.160
So all right, what do you
guys think? Is there a flat hollow?

395
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:36.440
Has it sucked into a black hole? When we return, we'll put

396
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:44.799
our minds together and figure out what
really maybe happened. Now that we've discussed

397
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:47.680
the facts, let's give our theories. All right. Here's the thing.

398
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.319
The hollow Earth and the black hole
are a little too much for me to

399
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:55.000
even deal with, right, But
I will say this. I wish I

400
00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:59.759
could say and stand on the Earth
being flat. I really wish I could,

401
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:07.440
because I just feel like flat earths
will buy more merch. I feel

402
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:10.480
like if I did a show and
some flat earths were there, they're gonna

403
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:12.640
buy out all my shirts. Oh
nice. I just feel like there'd be

404
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:18.279
a bonding there alas though I can't. I can't sell it. I can't

405
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.960
sell out just to sell shirts that
I don't have. So here's what I

406
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:25.799
think of the whole thing. In
a way, they're all wrong. In

407
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:29.400
a way they're all right. And
that is because this whole thing is a

408
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:34.640
simulation, So all the rules are
governed by the person thing beings who created

409
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:41.039
a simulation. It's almost like like
some alien kids somewhere is playing a game.

410
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:44.519
And that's why I like things keep
getting harder, because he's getting to

411
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:48.359
the harder levels, you know what
I mean? And so is the Earth

412
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.359
flat? Is it? Hollow always
have we been sucked into a black hole?

413
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.319
That all depends on the simulation,
you know, like the loop.

414
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.720
The rules that govern our what we
think is universe are like you know,

415
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:04.680
you like you write, you write
a program, you like you create parameters

416
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:07.920
and things up front, you know, Like, so I think we're all

417
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:12.000
in a simulation. In our simulation
though the world is around for sure,

418
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:15.960
But I imagine it'd be too hard
to change that at this point, just

419
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:18.960
because I think we don't lose our
shit if we if you know, that

420
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.519
changed. But I think this is
a simulation, so all these things can

421
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:30.559
happen if the program changes. One
way to say it, I guess maybe

422
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.279
maybe you could even say God as
the programmer. I don't know. Ye,

423
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:36.160
that's true, that's true. Yes, there you go, right,

424
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:40.000
yeah, okay, Well I was
going to say originally, because everything I

425
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:41.480
do is around Asian Asian Americans,
right, so as they're just going to

426
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.079
say that we live in the we
live in the hollow earth, and we

427
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:47.119
came out, we only come out
once in a while. But but I'm

428
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:51.799
not going to do that because that
would I mean, you're right, okay,

429
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:53.039
so this is my theory. Then
we have been sucked into the black

430
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:56.359
hole. And it explains a lot
of the things. I was a polyci

431
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:57.960
major, and it explains a lot
of things that I see that are like

432
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:03.039
go against everything that we used to
believe. Like people vote for their interests.

433
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:06.880
You know that that we're trying to
always you know, like we're trying

434
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:08.960
to become a better and more just
society. You know that got changed in

435
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:11.920
the last I know that is so
true, Like all of a sudden,

436
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.400
everybody's like, oh yeah, progress, screw that, we don't care an

437
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.480
he's saying it kind of coincides with
twenty twelve. Yeah, like kind of

438
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:21.839
the but like all the things,
you know, like for example, when

439
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:23.799
we were when we were young,
we assume that our lives were going to

440
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:27.200
get better. We're gonna get a
bigger house and more stuff. I mean,

441
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:30.279
you know, like everyone's like every
family, like you know, every

442
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:33.559
generation is gonna get better and better, We're gonna live longer. But in

443
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.039
fact, like you know, we're
we're not living as long anymore our older

444
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:40.759
generations. We're happy we have less
stuff, you know, so all we

445
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:44.880
like tiny did we decrease in size
but we don't know it? Yeah,

446
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:48.319
yeah, so so the whole thing
is that everything we thought is just now

447
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:49.880
the opposite. And that's why that's
where the black hole is. You know,

448
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.720
that's why people like you know,
Donald Trump could become president because you

449
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:57.680
know, a guy who's like,
basically I don't think could read appreciate read

450
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:07.240
because of a black hole we put
in an a hole. Yeah yeah,

451
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:10.440
I'm not a comedian, but my
joke has always been like, I should

452
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:14.559
be in the Republican Republican phase of
my life, right the house older,

453
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:18.839
I should be a conservative old man. Right. But the problem is I

454
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.680
know what team I plan on,
right, but also that party it went

455
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.000
it went left, like it that
that party is kind of doesn't know what

456
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.559
it wants to be anymore, right
Yeah, yeah, and everything everything's changed

457
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:33.400
and the things that I learned as
that that were the way it was and

458
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:37.279
it would never change, not left
politically, if you're listening, just left,

459
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:38.440
like, yeah, I went,
I went a different way. Yeah.

460
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:41.559
Interesting. So you really you really
took this question and took it and

461
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:48.240
made it not literal like this is
you are a writer. So in this

462
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.039
black hole we've been sucked into,
right before we got sucked into it,

463
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.960
were we living on a round planet
or flat planet. It wasn't hollow.

464
00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:00.640
Yeah, I don't even know.
That's that's all good question. I just

465
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:04.559
know that now. Gosh, I
mean, i'd love to agree with that.

466
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:08.839
I don't know that it's a black
hole. But something went weird for

467
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:15.160
sure around twenty twelve twenty sixteen.
Somewhere around there, everything just like reversed

468
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:21.799
and people started being Nazis. Again. Let's see what is my theory?

469
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.880
So I'm much more literal person.
I did not think about anything philosophical here.

470
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.400
My theory is this, and let's
I'm going to go buy process of

471
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:34.599
elimination. First of all, I
actually do believe in scientists and institutions.

472
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:38.319
Oh no, I think a lot
of people decide that they don't want to

473
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:42.359
believe in that. And it's largely
because there are a lot of religious people

474
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:48.119
in the world. And something happened
in the two thousands where the shift there

475
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:51.680
was a shift about like how people
felt about science and religion. There are

476
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:56.640
these like atheist activists, speakers like
Richard doc and Sam Harris, who were

477
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:00.480
like, you either believe in science
or believe in God, and if you

478
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:04.880
try to do both, you're stupid. And then side note, also believing

479
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:12.240
God makes you stupid, and I
remember I remember being a teenager at that

480
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:15.480
time and feeling really hurt by that
because I was also really religious. And

481
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:20.279
while I managed to kind of like
overcome that and like, like, you

482
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:22.200
know what, I'm going to believe
anyway, And even if they say I'm

483
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:25.000
dumb, I don't think I'm dumb. But I think a lot of the

484
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:29.920
rest of the country grew to resent
that, and then they went, all

485
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.079
right, you say I have to
choose between believing in God and believing in

486
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:37.799
science. Screw you. I pick
God, so screw science. And I

487
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:43.799
think that is kind of like the
birth of everything falling apart and people deciding

488
00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:46.519
they don't want to believe in institutions
is people deciding, okay, any if

489
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:49.759
you're religious, you're stupid, and
they're like, all right, you want

490
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:52.119
to say I'm stupid, Well,
then I don't believe a word you say,

491
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:54.880
and from there it falls apart.
And I think people deciding that the

492
00:32:54.880 --> 00:33:00.279
Earth is flat just comes from that. It comes from not wanting to believe

493
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:02.799
all that because they also don't want
to feel like they're stupid. I,

494
00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:07.480
for one think Sam Harris and Richard
Dawkins and all those influencers who said people

495
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:13.640
who had to choose between God and
science, Like all those guys, just

496
00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:16.160
because they say believe men God makes
you stupid doesn't mean it's true. They're

497
00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:22.319
just two guys. Their opinion doesn't
really matter. So I choose to continue

498
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:27.160
being both. I won't let someone
calling me an idiot for my religious beliefs

499
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:31.599
caused me to completely throw out science
and progress and a lot of things that

500
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:35.880
have done a lot of good in
the world. So long story short,

501
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:38.839
I believe the Earth is round because
I believe in science. But it's but

502
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:45.240
it's hollow and full of magma and
hot things. And I met like a

503
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:49.599
twenty two year old like geology major, and she was like, yeah,

504
00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:52.359
it's definitely full, and I'm like, cool, I believe you know how

505
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:54.640
to think too. Is that?
Like the reason why I went with the

506
00:33:54.720 --> 00:34:00.559
simulation thing is because of we talked
about the God particle and like matter is

507
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:06.119
just sort of like energy, you
know, like matters energy in a sort

508
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.119
of form that you can measure.
Excuse me, yeah, yeah, matters

509
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:12.760
energy in the form you can measure. So I feel like some things are

510
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:16.920
beyond our comprehension. And one theory
is that, like you know, we're

511
00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:20.559
on a piece of paper or something, you know what, meaning like you

512
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:25.519
have a nucleus and electrons spin around
it sort of like that that nucleus is

513
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:30.800
like a son and the electrons or
stars or whatever. So you know,

514
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.039
we're just a molecule or on something. And you know, but if that

515
00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:38.400
were if something like that existed,
that means on every every piece of paper,

516
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:45.559
every every thing, there's another whole
system of beings and living. You

517
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.960
know. That sounds a little crazy, but I just think that it's so

518
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:52.679
beyond our comprehension that like almost whatever
you whatever, you think, it's fine,

519
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:57.880
except some things have been proven within
our realm. Like we know the

520
00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:00.719
world is flat, we know it's
not hollow. Other world's flat. I

521
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:06.679
mean, excuse me, round,
excuse me. We know the world is

522
00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:07.960
around, we know it's not hollow, we know we haven't missed it into

523
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:12.199
a black hole. I don't think
we know how we fit into the rest

524
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:15.960
of the galaxy next necessarily, but
just because we don't know, it doesn't

525
00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:19.239
mean we, Like I agree with
you in the sense that you can't just

526
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:22.679
throw out everything you know, like
not knowing one thing doesn't mean everything you've

527
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:25.960
sort of proven up to this point
is wrong, even if it's not in

528
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:29.559
the right context. Yeah, I
was. I was talking on the phone

529
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:32.559
to some really cute guy the other
day and very smart, and we were

530
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:42.800
talking a little bit philosophically. When
do we talk on the phone. No,

531
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.559
but so I was talking to this
guy and he's really into like philosophy,

532
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:47.800
and he's like, well, anything
is possible. So like you could

533
00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:51.920
wake up tomorrow and there's no gravity
in the world, just like floating around.

534
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:55.760
I'm like, you can't exist in
that. I acknowledge that in theory

535
00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:01.440
everything is possible in fear, but
we got to compartmentalize the things that are

536
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:07.480
true. Like theoretically, yeah,
theoretically we could just be ant size and

537
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:09.840
we are really all just a molecule
onto something else, and that's just a

538
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:15.679
molecule on something else. Like yeah, theoretically maybe, But then there's what

539
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:17.440
we can prove in the here and
then now, and we kind of got

540
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:22.000
to live there because if you live
in the world of infinite possibilities in your

541
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.400
brain, your brain's going to break
and you can't function in data time.

542
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:28.639
I agree, I agree, I
feel like same thing with time travel.

543
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:31.000
You know, people always want to
say time isn't linear. I'm like,

544
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:35.440
it's not, yeah, but I
experience it. I experience it in a

545
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:37.119
linear fashion. So that's all I
have to go on, you know what

546
00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:39.920
I mean? I got like writing
stories and and well that's the same thing

547
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:44.559
with flat earthers though, as they
say, well when I look, it's

548
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:46.119
flat. I get that, right, except that if you if you've been

549
00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:52.639
on an airplane and the horizon,
explain the horizon, because if if the

550
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:58.000
world was flat, but see Australia
just looking. But it's all about perception,

551
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:00.480
right, right. If we only
go with what we perceive, a

552
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:02.039
lot of times what we perceive is
wrong. I mean, I guess that's

553
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:07.239
where you have to kind of extend
it far enough outside of just yourself and

554
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:12.039
your own perception to like, collectively
as a people, as humanity, we've

555
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:15.239
been able to prove X, Y
and Z, So we can't just limit

556
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:16.679
it to like what you see in
front of your own eyes, because we're

557
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:21.280
not like two year olds, where
like I can't Oh my god, Coji,

558
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:24.880
where did you go I'm looking away
from? Okay, Well, here

559
00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:28.559
let me ask you a question,
then yes, if a person has no

560
00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:32.599
grew up with no senses, did
they have a thought if they would no

561
00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:36.679
sense? They grew up with no
senses, so no, they couldn't hear,

562
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:38.880
they couldn't speak, they couldn't feel
or touch. You mean, like

563
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:42.719
they were like some sort of vegetable. Yeah, but they're all o their

564
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:45.360
needs are met. Say, oh, okay, you're saying from the day

565
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:49.239
they from the day they were born. Right, So with that person have

566
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:52.199
a thought, yeah, I think
so, well, they couldn't feel anything.

567
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:55.519
Someone was talking, Is someone talking
to them? They they can't hear.

568
00:37:55.599 --> 00:37:58.679
They can't hear, but they can't
hear actually just saying yeah, I

569
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:00.840
think you need the language. So
this is one of the biggest things in

570
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:04.719
philosophic And they can't feel, well, they can't feel. Yeah, So

571
00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:10.239
like, is our knowledge from our
six senses or are they from five five

572
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:16.639
senses or are you psych five senses
or are they something that's inherent like God

573
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:22.519
or you know, or spiritual or
because if it's if it is truly just

574
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:25.039
what we feel, then you're you
know, through our senses. Then is

575
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:29.440
something said something else about who we
are as people? Right versus something that's

576
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:32.840
inherent or god like. Well,
it's like do animals dream right through?

577
00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:38.559
And I think they might dream,
definitely dreams. So a person is born

578
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:44.480
and they can't hear, can't see, feel touched, but they're living.

579
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:46.760
Yeah, can you have a thought
if you've never interacted with the world,

580
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:52.639
because my thoughts are processed through language, Like I've never had a thought that

581
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:55.079
wasn't language. I mean they've had
a feeling, like I've had a gut

582
00:38:55.159 --> 00:39:00.840
feeling about something, or maybe I
feel anxiety your baby. You have a

583
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:02.280
thought and you don't have language that
you're like I think, but you still

584
00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:07.519
have that you're interacting. Though you're
interacting with something, you're still feeling a

585
00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:10.800
sense of like there's poop on my
diaper, and there's poop on my butt.

586
00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:14.400
It is hot and wet and nasty, and I don't like the smell.

587
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:15.840
Yeah, I don't know. I
think I think they'd have have a

588
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:20.960
thought only because like I'm thinking if
the if their heart is beating in their

589
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:23.639
things are like their body is still
functioning. I don't know if they're eating

590
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:28.639
or not. Like they might feel
pain in their stomach and make sounds because

591
00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:31.920
they feel pain. There's no right
answer, you like, there's right answer,

592
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:35.320
but I mean it's it comes down
as a test, it comes it

593
00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:37.679
comes down to belief though, right, I mean, it's it's very much

594
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:40.159
a belief thing, especially like you
know, I mean religious people would tend

595
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:45.360
to believe because that there's a there's
a spirit. Yeah, they believe in

596
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:49.920
a soul and soul with no language, and that they would have they would

597
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:53.320
be able to have a thought despite
not interacting with the physical world, right,

598
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:58.679
whereas a science like a scientist in
the traditional scientists sort of way,

599
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:00.559
in that dichotomy between you know,
you can't believe in God and your scientists

600
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:05.440
would believe that there's none right,
that everything we do is interacting with us,

601
00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:07.639
and if it doesn't interact with us, it doesn't exist, Like that's

602
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:12.400
why God can't exist, right in
that way. I'm not arguing either way,

603
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:15.599
but it's it's interesting. I personally
believe that they would have a thought.

604
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:17.440
That's just me interesting. Yeah,
No, I think they would have

605
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:22.079
feelings, but not thoughts. So
we're at the point in the show where

606
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:25.320
we need to pick the unofficial official
story, one that will once and for

607
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:30.159
all answer this question. What do
you guys think, which theory do we

608
00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:36.599
want to go with? Well?
Mine obviously, Well, I think yours

609
00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:40.800
if I'm hearing right, is that
like the world is round and we're not

610
00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:45.320
in a black hole, and it's
not hollow. Yeah, it's not hollow

611
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.000
because we don't have evidence it's hollow. We're just like pulling that out of

612
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:51.480
our ass, right, which I
think is probably right. And I think

613
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:53.719
I didn't really sell mind as much
as I in my head. I think

614
00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:55.679
I thought it was going to come
out a little smooth than it did.

615
00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:00.119
But I like my simulation thing like
your relation, yeah, yeah, and

616
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:05.440
I use a vote for my my
own theory. I just think where Yeah,

617
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:08.039
because I really really like my everything's
gone to hell since twenty and twelve.

618
00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:13.199
I like that. I can listen, I can I can be swayed

619
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:16.119
and you're but it's just that everything's
going to hell, Yes, but it's

620
00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:19.360
due to a black hole, that's
the part. Yeah, I don't think

621
00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:22.239
there's enough evidence to say that it
would be due to a black hole.

622
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:23.320
Like, if we're being super literal, I'm here for that though, I

623
00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:27.199
can be I can be Okay,
Yeah, which one do you want?

624
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:31.400
You want to vote for? Yours? I'm voting for my own. So

625
00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:35.400
we're all voting for our own the
first this is the first time and the

626
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:37.960
first time in our first time.
But but but so that means each one

627
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:44.360
of us actually this filibuster we find
ourselves in. Each each one of us

628
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:46.400
have the power to change it,
I'm saying, and will we Yes,

629
00:41:46.719 --> 00:41:52.760
so I'm willing to change mine.
Because here's the thing. If we're in

630
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:57.280
a simulation, right then, I'm
basically saying, it doesn't even matter.

631
00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.000
We're just we're on someone's computer.
We're on a hard drive right now.

632
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:02.239
Yeah, so we could have gone
into a black Hole's know what I'm saying.

633
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:04.679
Yeah, so why don't you just
do that? Yeah? I think

634
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:15.480
I will. Okay, we're in
a black hole. That's the official story,

635
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:22.719
though we solved it. What's what's
great about this theory is that we

636
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:29.360
compromised. Yeah, we came to
this theory. I'm so sad. What

637
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:34.599
a way to welcome me. And
I mean we could go with it is

638
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:37.480
what it is, But then that's
not as much not as not as fun

639
00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:44.199
right yeah, yeah, yeah,
of course I'm boring. And that's the

640
00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:47.800
official story. We'll take another break
and when we return we'll ask some fun

641
00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:53.840
Earth Day questions. So this month
we're celebrating Earth Day. Suppose one of

642
00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:58.239
these radical ideas could save the Earth
from disaster. Which one would you guys

643
00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:01.639
choose and why? The first one
is no more meat you can only your

644
00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:05.840
only source of protein would be fried
crickets. The next one is no more

645
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:08.119
single car rides. You've got to
ride with people from the opposite political party

646
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:14.199
in cars. Yea an actual car
carska, And that there ones kill half

647
00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:16.559
the people on the planet randomly all
off things. Which one would you guys

648
00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:20.840
choose? And wise? And no
brainer? Which one the crickets the crickets?

649
00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:22.800
Yes, yeah, yes, because
I don't want to kill half the

650
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:27.599
planet. I don't want you don't
You don't know who's gonna some groovy people.

651
00:43:27.719 --> 00:43:30.119
You might lose some groovy people.
Yeah. What if you snapped it

652
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:32.800
and it was everybody who you like
died and only the people you hated stick

653
00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:36.800
are exactly exactly, And then I
don't want to be in a car with

654
00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:40.480
someone in the political party, right
because there's no guarantee they they're just gonna

655
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:45.360
like not talk. Yeah. Also, like, how like what if they're

656
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:49.559
so opposite politically that they're like insane, Like what if like what if it's

657
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:52.599
one of those people in Idaho who's
like moving to corn away and districts,

658
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:55.440
you know what I mean. And
also I don't really love crickets, you

659
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:59.880
know what I mean. And so
if I could go without seeing one because

660
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:02.119
eating them, you know what I
mean. So I've killed my share of

661
00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:07.599
crickets with what do you call it? Yeah, I just I'd rather just

662
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:10.039
not do with them. But I'm
okay eating as long as they're properly cooked,

663
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:13.880
like because if you think about it, like the only reason we're not

664
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:16.480
grossed out by meat is because it's
normal. But the other day, like

665
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:20.000
a couple of months, I just
moved on my mom's house. So I'm

666
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.039
cooking for myself for the first time
in my life, and I bought a

667
00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:27.559
rotisserie chicken and I'd never like taken
it apart before, and I was gonna

668
00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:30.519
make chicken salad. And as I'm
like taking it apart doing this for the

669
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:34.039
first time, I actually got really
sad for the chicken. And I was

670
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:37.519
like, this is terrible. This
little thing like feel its little legs,

671
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:42.920
I feel like my dogs little legs, Like this is really upsetting. No,

672
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:45.079
so I would go with crickets could
be great. We just have to

673
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:49.920
normalize eating crickets and they could be
really good. Like you could start out

674
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:54.320
normalizing things like cricket nuggets where it's
like a pure soft and we already have

675
00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:58.199
cricket burkers. I just did a
question about Yeah there is, yeah,

676
00:44:58.239 --> 00:45:00.880
cricket burkers. Yeah, there's a
restaurant in Lati hears crickets. I need

677
00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:04.000
to go. It's actually way healthier
for the world, Is that right,

678
00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:07.679
Like cows are like one of the
most Like cows are way worse than Wayne.

679
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:09.159
I have a question, yes,
because you're you're a single guy,

680
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:15.480
right, yes, okay, so
are you look at me? You meet

681
00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:20.599
a great lady, really gorgeous.
Thing is at home? She cooks instead

682
00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:22.920
of meat, everything cricket based.
Is that a deal breaker? No?

683
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:25.960
No, I'm cool with that.
Ye pull up if ever, like you're

684
00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:30.000
like, okay, perfect, But
if you get married the rest of your

685
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:32.639
life you're gonna be getting cricket meat. Well, I guess it depends on

686
00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:35.840
how it tastes, but yeah,
I can. I'm okay with that,

687
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:38.440
assuming she knows how to make it
properly. Yeah, I'm Okay, am

688
00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:43.719
I am I wrong for wanting the
thane. You're not wrong, it's just

689
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:45.159
who are we gonna lose? So
okay, so I have to have two

690
00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:49.760
things about that, Okay. So
yeah, First, maybe the people I

691
00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:52.400
don't like will be dead awesome for
me, okay, right, and then

692
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:54.159
the people that I love die.
I could just go you know, like

693
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:58.320
in the movie in the TV show
like the Matyrs, in the sense,

694
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:00.840
well, I can go crazy and
start killing people like in you know in

695
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:06.119
Marble, who's the arrow guy?
Who's the arrow guy? Yeah he's but

696
00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:08.559
whatever. His character went crazy and
started killing people for like five or six

697
00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:12.159
years, right, and he was
just like this vigilante. And I'm like,

698
00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:15.639
well that's I could just cut up
vigilante and just kill people that I

699
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:19.159
don't know how to shoot. True, you know. But but here's the

700
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:22.440
thing, Like, yeah, like
you're saying, cows they graze, they

701
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:27.199
take an insane amount of water,
insane amount of land. It's really inefficient.

702
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:30.679
But if we go to cricket round, which I'm here, you're still

703
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:32.679
here for the cricket. I'm here
for that, but people are so greedy,

704
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:37.599
like the average cricket might be like
I don't know the size of a

705
00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:40.199
of a sticker or like, you
know, like two inches or something.

706
00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:44.880
But the greed is going to take
over and then this giant one. Yeah,

707
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:47.400
they're gonna start giving them steroids.
And I think crickets are gonna be

708
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:51.760
like bigger than like footballs, and
it's gonna go back. It's gonna get

709
00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:55.239
silly. But I think it would
take a couple hundred years exactly exactly.

710
00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:59.320
Well, you know the world's problems. I mean, you know, I'm

711
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:01.639
gonna sound like the US, but
the world problems would be solved if there

712
00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:05.519
is half the number of people,
Like we wouldn't have a water crisis.

713
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:07.960
Way, but the thing is,
well, warming wouldn't be an issue.

714
00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:10.480
But also it'd be solved if everyone
stopped eating meat. True, but but

715
00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:15.400
it'd also be well, would have
solved the water crisis in a way because

716
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:20.239
so much water, well, there's
less people to eat cows, so we

717
00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:23.199
don't have you know, and won't
be as many cars in the road.

718
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:28.519
You want an unemployment problem, No, half the people aren't gone. The

719
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:31.679
only thing I don't like about that
theory is that I hope people say that,

720
00:47:31.719 --> 00:47:35.440
and I don't have any data,
like it's like you were saying earlier,

721
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:37.719
can I have no data, but
I just have a feeling. And

722
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:42.000
that is when you say, like
normal car is this this? This as

723
00:47:42.199 --> 00:47:46.400
is right now? Like of the
whole population, what percentage of the population

724
00:47:46.559 --> 00:47:51.000
is using all the resources? Right? I think once China got on board,

725
00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:53.880
then that kind of like threw everything
off. But even with China on

726
00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:59.320
board, maybe half the people don't
have a car, don't eat a lot

727
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:01.079
of meat, Like it's only a
small percentage of the people who have a

728
00:48:01.119 --> 00:48:07.079
lot of countries Ye, yeah,
in developing countries, which I don't think

729
00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:08.760
that's the proper term anymore, but
I also don't know what the real world

730
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:14.360
term quite like the new PC term
is for developing. Developing sounds a lot

731
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:16.719
better than third world, I'll tell
you that much. But in developing nations,

732
00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:21.440
people can't really afford meat or eating
meat every day. It's like a

733
00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:24.400
special occasion thing, right, And
so like they're eating Latin America, you

734
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:28.400
get a lot of rice and beans. That's rice, beans, eggs,

735
00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:34.159
and that's most meals. Tortillas that's
corn based or flower based and that and

736
00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:37.679
that's what people eat. The biggest
issue with the Dato's one is in marvel

737
00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:42.159
Cytamatic universe was that everyone's depressed.
They couldn't keep going on with their lives,

738
00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:45.639
right because it wasn't like all of
a sudden everyone's disappear and you forgot

739
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:49.960
everybody. If I could stop my
fingers and everybody who like really really badly

740
00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:52.440
want to kill themselves would be gone, I think that would be merciful.

741
00:48:53.159 --> 00:48:58.639
That wouldn't be half the world,
but like that would be one where it's

742
00:48:58.639 --> 00:49:01.159
like I would take the burden off
of them. I could justify that,

743
00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:07.079
like they consent is important. I
mean, it'll be way better if I

744
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:12.000
could pick the people that die.
Yeah, maybe if they could opt in,

745
00:49:12.119 --> 00:49:15.920
Like okay, you could sign up. Yeah, and that's hilarious.

746
00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:20.400
You can opt in and then like
it's painless. You're just gonna not wake

747
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:24.280
up one day, all right.
Thank you all so much for listening.

751
00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:44.559
come back next month, where we'll
answer the question where the smiley faced deaths

752
00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:46.880
actually serial murders. Have you guys
heard of this case? These cases I

753
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:52.000
haven't so familiar. There's like a
bunch of usually men who go missing,

754
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:54.599
usually like they leave a bar and
then they and then they never found and

755
00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:58.559
then they found usually near a body
of water, and then there's like a

756
00:49:58.679 --> 00:50:02.360
happy face next to the body somewhere
somewhere near the body. But a lot

757
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:07.800
of people think it's just random or
some people think that there's actually these these

758
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:10.480
common deaths they have, like those
will take out things that say have a

759
00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:15.239
night's day. Yeah, it's it's
it's kind of crazy, but it's because

760
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:20.320
it's a conspiracy. There's no like
actual evidence that it's happening, but some

761
00:50:20.360 --> 00:50:22.960
people will truly believe that it's like
a thing. So I look forward to

762
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:25.480
diving into that. I know I
already have things to say, but I'm

763
00:50:25.480 --> 00:50:30.079
gonna save them. Okay, perfect
building suspense. Well, thank you guys

764
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:34.559
so much. It was fun.
Thank you great, great first episode.

765
00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:37.320
Absolutely all right guys. Bye,
