Which, I'll take those off. I mean, look, I'll tell you, smoking just looks so cool. Yeah. Smoking cigarettes, like, God, I smoke cigarettes, which I need to not do that. But, God, I do feel cool.
And I like telling people those stories and they seem to enjoy it whenever I tell them. So I was like, well, why don't I just like make little videos and clip them, you know, clip them up, make them look all right.
Well, I don't have to be smoking a cigarette for people to realize that.
This is so crazy. In what time span do you think the 15 cigs?
It's quite a bit. I mean, even for like a – because I don't smoke like – I'm not like a pack a day or something like that. Well, that's good. Probably a pack every three days. Oh, that's not too bad. But it's still terrible for me. It's still not good. I mean, I try to justify it in my head. I'm like, yeah, but I'm not sitting out there.
Yeah, I don't think nicotine's ever really been proven to just be horrible for you.
I mean, I've always had a podcast. No one watches this thing, so it's all right. We'll bump that bitch up now. Well, yeah, it might change now. But, yeah, I mean, I wouldn't necessarily recommend watching the podcast, but it exists. That's hilarious. It's all right.
Well, because the nicotine obviously gets you partly addicted and then makes you smoke more cigarettes, which is horrible. Yes. So there is like almost – there's kind of like some blame you could put towards nicotine in that sense. In that sense, yeah. Yeah.
Well, right. That's the issue is that if they would take all that out, they wouldn't. I mean, obviously, it's so bad you shouldn't be breathing smoke into your lungs.
Or American spirits, yeah.
Right, right. Is that who the character was that he's playing? That's who he's playing, yeah, it's Jeffrey Wigand, yeah.
Yeah, that makes you so mad when you watch it.
Look how much sugars in food.
The sugar that's in it does the same thing. Sort of. I mean, kind of. Sort of.
Jesus. I mean, in the moment, it is. Yo, that's heaven on earth.
Like, come on. I mean, I'd rather you just, if you watch it and like it, well, thank you. If you don't, you get in line.
You don't have to justify it to me.
I'm with you. Five guys. In-N-Out, top of the line to me for fast food kind of burger. Yeah, you can't go wrong, man. It's the Chick-fil-A of burgers.
Now, in that war, I'm taking the Whataburger people over the In-N-Out people.
No, those Whataburger bubbles are coming to –
Get out of your own house. Yeah, that's his now.
And they're so much louder, so you think there's more of them, when in reality it's like, what, 5% probably of each side? Exactly.
Reddit dead internet? I don't think so.
Yeah. So I started watching pretty early and it was, but it still had like a pretty decent following then. But I know like you started like. We started in 2009. Yeah. So this would have been like a couple of years after that even.
Oh, did the internet die in 2016?
Yeah, that is kind of the problem is they're not always wrong.
And I think he's right. Yeah, you know, he wasn't necessarily wrong. He was just wrong to be blowing people up. Oh, well, he was really fucked up.
Which immediately... Permanent damage. You're screwed. You can't fix that. Yeah. Like, so you get those wide eyes, you know, where that's how you tell when someone's crazy.
Yeah, because he was part of the MK Ultra. Like, he had that professor that was, like, recruiting impressionable but highly intelligent students. Young men. How crazy is that program? MKL just wild. Wild. That is one of the most interesting. The CIA in general, I mean, this is a rabbit hole of just the craziest things I've ever seen.
But like all the Manson stuff, which I'm obsessed with Charles Manson. So all that stuff is.
Like the French catacombs where people get lost every day and all that.
Yeah. Everybody has the CIA, KGB. I mean. So they have to exist.
And just to see how people react.
Or find somebody who actually is one of those people and then see how people react. If that's what you want to do. You don't have to pretend to be one. There are lots of people who... Yeah, you could recruit volunteer and you could have a whole study control group, you know, have the whole thing.
Yeah. What's that – there's a law like a – where like you can't – something about being observed like ruins the thing or whatever. Like it's part of like the – I don't know. I suck at science but I think there's something.
Yeah, you behave completely differently.
Well, it's just like if you get asked a question to be part of a survey, you're not answering that thing accurately. Right. Even if it's anonymous. Right. Just because you know that your answer is going to make you look maybe a little bit bad, you'll church up your answer a little. Maybe not outright lie, but if it asks you, how many drinks do you have a week?
You're not telling them the exact amount. You're not counting them up.
Yeah, I blindly give it up.
Yeah, I give it up. I don't give a damn. I just give it all up.
Yeah, because it's weird, like, with the, you know... Online, like, data, privacy. Like, you don't really know what it is that you're giving up. It's not like normal privacy where, like, if somebody asks, like, hey, can I take a picture of your driver's license? You'd say, no. What are you talking about? No, you can't.
But they can get the majority of that information through, you know, they can track, you know, get your address, get your... They can find out... even more information about you through giving up your privacy, like data privacy. Yes. But we don't have a list of what they're getting. I mean, I guess you do if you read that whole damn thing, but who's reading that? Right.
What the hell does that mean?
Yeah, and also, how many people know what arbitration is? Because I'll be honest, I don't know what it is. I was just kind of going with everything. Sounds scary if you've got to go through arbitration. I could not explain to you what arbitration is. Let's find out. I just kind of agreed with everything.
I could be wrong. Well, if that is – yeah, I'm sure that's in your best interest to do that. Yeah. That's wild.
This may as well be Portuguese as far as I'm concerned.
Good. You're probably right. Perfectly fine with that.
No, there'd be way more mistakes if it was people.
The Hague is in the Netherlands, right?
You know, where the world, like, what do you call it? Crimes against humanity, like war crimes is all in the Hague. Yeah. Ooh. I don't know if that means anything. I don't know if it means anything either.
You should always, no matter what. Wherever you are, you've got to follow those laws. That seems super reasonable. Seems like it.
Waymo's partnered with Uber. There you go. Oh, I know because I just – I was going to get in one yesterday. I was like – I haven't been to Austin in a long time. Like I used to come down here a lot like in high school or whatever, you know, sneak into bars and whatnot. And – I saw these Waymos, like, what the hell is this thing? I've never heard of this. Didn't know this existed.
No? No, I chickened out. I just don't think. Because what if it just doesn't want to take me there? Like, what if something happens where he's like, you know what I would like to do? Take you down 35 at about 90 miles an hour. In the wrong lane.
Although I do think it's inevitable. Yeah, I looked it up. There's only been one fatality involving one and it wasn't even their fault. It was a driverless one where someone rear-ended the Waymo like, you know. So I was like, well, they seem pretty safe.
I can see taking one, like if you're just going around like a neighborhood or something, you know, you're just like, you're never going above 30 miles an hour. Getting on like the interstate in one of these things. Imagine if you could show this to Ted Kaczynski.
That's crazy. I would trust that. Like if, you know, just sitting in there and like kind of. You could take control if need be. But that's the bridge, bro. Yeah. That's the bridge. I don't like a bridge. That's the bridge to transhumanism. I think we all need to stay in our separate. No bridges.
Yeah. I don't like that one bit. I'm too much of an acoustic type fella. I can't be.
That's a good idea. There's nothing that could ever go wrong with doing that. Jesus.
That makes sense, like Kevlar's spider silk.
Splice, like that movie. I don't know if you ever saw that with Adrian Brody. Ooh, that was crazy. It's a great movie, but just seeing all that, I'm like, that's what my mind immediately goes to is him banging this thing with its dragon wings. That alien thing.
Oh, yeah. It wasn't like, wow, I would really believe that was happening. It wasn't Schindler's List or something.
Yeah, I think so. I mean, that's kind of what a lot of that is. I just... What was that, CRISPR? You remember that thing? That was a talking point for a while.
I'm glad those people are around. But it's not something that should ever become popular.
They're going to put fucking tardigrade genes into humans. God, that makes me so uncomfortable.
Where Jared Leto lives or whatever it is.
The Laurel Canyon thing is strange. Crazy. Yeah, yeah. With all those people like Joni Mitchell, Neil Young. Well, maybe not Neil Young, but like. Yeah, like a lot of those artists had like – Too many connections. Yeah, and Jim Morrison's dad started Vietnam. Yes.
Yeah, he was the Navy admiral during the Gulf of Tonkin.
No, not even close. No, no. You can pump up like a pop idol. You can't really pump up a rock star.
You can make a boy band. Yeah, you can make a boy band. You can make Ariana Grande out of clay and send her ass out up there. You can't make Bob Dylan. God, no. You can't do that. Yeah, you can't make that. You can't do that to Jim Morrison. You can't do that to a lot of those. Like, an actual rock star is just – that's like a flash in the pan. Like, it happened. We don't know how it happened.
Any kind of musical star.
No, you could like take a budding scene and pump it up. But, but that scene's already there. Like it was already going to exist. Like it already was existing. I mean, there was like the beat neck stuff in New York that was already happening way before any of this. So like, And they were just kind of the next generation of that, just the West Coast version.
Yeah, I could care less about having anyone know who the fuck I am. Which granted, here I am. I know. It's kind of odd.
But, you know, there's like that's all that was already there. So, yeah, if you want to say there's like a conspiracy that they pumped it up and like put more money into like marketing their music to make sure that those artists music got sold more and played on the radio more like kind of a payola sort of thing. Right. That makes sense. Yeah. That could be. I don't know that it happened, but.
I don't think. There's no way.
Well, if they could do that, then they should probably do another one. Jesus Christ. I mean, the amount of times that I've seen like people on TV, they're supposed to be these like massively famous artists. I'm like, I don't know who any of these people are. And I'm like in the age where I should still know who all these people are. Like, I'm pretty young, but like.
yeah, I don't know who they are and they all sound horrible. Like, I'm just, I don't, like, like this is the proof of there being some simulation where we're all just like listening to the same. But I wonder if people thought that about every damn genre of music.
It's like there's a synchronicity going on. Something. Something's happening. There's something where things are crossing over that I didn't.
Well, it also seems like there isn't – because, like, you know, you go back to, let's say, like, the 60s, and you think, like, okay, late 60s, this is the time of, like, you know, Hendrix and, like, the Rolling Stones, Sgt. Pepper. Right. These are, like, the highly influential experimental musicians. Eric Clapton. Yeah, Cream. Cream was, like, you know, hadn't broken up yet.
They broke up in, like, 70s. But the number one song in 1969, or one of them, was Sugar Sugar by the Archies. It's one of the most mainstream bubblegum pop songs ever. But those Hendrix and stuff were still there. It was in the zeitgeist. It was still popular. But now it's like those types of people are nowhere to even be found. And it's all just the sugar, sugar type things, if that makes sense.
Well, yeah, because you get the ticket money.
Exactly. So, yeah, you still are going to market, distribute the way that you would have in the past, but now you're just getting your slice of cake from a different – You know, you're getting it from a different area than you used to. But you're still pumping them out, you know, pumping them up for the same reason, ultimately to make money. It's just you're getting it in a different way.
Yeah, right, right, right. YouTube clips. Yeah, there's always going to be the ones who come out in like the indie way of like Like what Tarantino was for like movies, you know, like come out like I'm doing this all on my own. And like there's always going to be those people. I just think it seems like there's not a lot of those.
Then you decided to start clipping them up. Exactly. So I would end it with just like, oh, here's some like half ass history, which is what I called like the segment. And then I was like, oh, here's like a half ass history segment. Just ramble about some bullshit from like Napoleon or something.
I'm with you. Sometimes you just see something and you're like, this is a simulation, right? Right. We're not in the real. Yeah. There's a second and a third and a fourth and so on.
Yes true and I think I also just don't try to find things as much you know what I mean like I don't like pursue it the way I probably should because I in my head I just have this like bias of like if it came out in the last 20 years I don't care.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I agree. I – Because I'll look, you know, put in just some, like, random playlists or, like, in my head think of, like, well, what do I want to hear, like, right now? How about, like, 70s garage rock? And I'll just put that in. And there's, like, all this amazing stuff. It'll have, like, some deep cuts from, like, The Stones, which is, like, one of my favorite bands. And, like...
you know, just all this other stuff that I've never heard before, but it all came out around that time, has the same sound. There's never, like, a miss on that whole list of, like, 200 songs. This is incredible.
A bunch of cool shit that I never heard before. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I make, I make playlists all the time. That's one of my favorite things to do is like a hobby is to make playlists for people. Oh, I love it. Like if they tell me like, Oh, I'm, Like, I want to know more songs that sound like this. I'll be like, got you. I'll make you a playlist and send it to you.
I love doing stuff like that for people.
I have probably 40 playlists that I've made. Yeah, because I do them by, like, decades, and then I'll do genres within decades. Oh, man, you're fucking super specific. Well, I'm just, like, slightly autistic. How much? What percent? Oh, gotta be 55, 56. Like, enough to where I can, like, you know, I can function. Do you smell math? No. See, when it comes to that, I don't have any of that autism.
I just have the weird, like, I can't handle too many sounds autism. Oh, interesting. Yeah. No, I can't handle a lot of stimulus, and then I make playlists or do jigsaw puzzles. Hmm.
No, it was fun. It was fun.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or read 24-7 and look up random bullshit. That's the superpower of it, right? Yeah. I think so. I mean, yeah, I'm glad I have. I don't know if I'm really autistic, but if I am, I'm glad I have.
I'm self-diagnosed. You are a doctor, though, right? Yeah. Sure. I mean, as much as, you know. I'm guilty as charged. I've self-diagnosed myself with ADHD. Yeah, but you know yourself better than anybody else. So you should be able to self-diagnose yourself.
Well, and there probably is some disorder in it, but to like – Because I don't think it's necessarily wrong to say that there is like a thing. But to say that it's like a disorder and that it's negative and that it needs to be treated is different. Like I don't think ADHD necessarily needs to be treated. It just needs to be like funneled.
Oh, no. It's the guy who wrote the book that turned into the, I mean. Tell the story because it's so crazy. So, yeah, there was a fellow named Asa Carter. So Asa Carter is this massive white supremacist. Like, he was in the KKK and then left the KKK because they weren't racist enough. He was like, y'all don't hate white people way more.
Because it's fucking boring. Yeah, school sucks. Like school ruins everything. It ruins the natural love of learning that I think most humans have. It's ruined by schools. Because one, you're there way longer than you should be. There's no reason a kid should be in school for eight hours, nine hours sometimes. Why would an eight-year-old need to be in school that way? It's a real good question.
It doesn't make any sense. What are you teaching a 10-year-old? That they're going to remember. Yeah, and also, I mean, like, you don't have to have recess. You don't have to have all these extra things. Like, you can shorten all this down, make it more streamlined, and have kids home. But it's just to prepare people for a 9-to-5. And so many households have both parents working.
So it's like, well, it is kind of nice to not have a babysitter. You just send your kid to school and, you know, have your kid be a latchkey kid like I was. Like I was, too.
Yeah, I would just come in and start, like, playing guitar or something. I mean, I didn't go around the neighborhood. It was a lot of meth labs, a lot of fully functioning meth labs. You lived near meth labs when you were a kid? Yeah. No shit, dude. Fully functioning. Where'd you live? Well, East Texas, which is- Don't, you know, don't have to say, don't rat anybody out. Don't know the address.
Yeah, yeah. Some method right now is like, the motherfucker, I remember him. I'm going to fucking find him. Yeah. Well, they've actually all kind of blown themselves up since then. Funny how that works. Yeah, it's a, yeah, nature really has a way to take care of itself, you know.
Yeah, one blew up, like the one next to my house blew up not that long ago. Like I was just asleep. I thought I heard a shotgun and looked and there's just fire. And I was like, what is this?
Boom! Yeah, it's pretty close.
Yeah, it was not a neighborhood that you go ride bikes around and play and shit like that.
Well, and they're not using, like, you know, high-grade equipment. I mean, they're wearing, like, you know, some, like, cheap gloves, maybe. I mean, most of it's barehanded, you know. They're like old school hat makers. They would get mercury poisoning and go crazy.
Like, y'all should be hating these people way more than you should. So he made his own version, like a splinter group of the KKK. And, I mean, he was part of, like— He would show up to Nat King Cole concerts, try to drag them off the stage. Oh, my God. And he became a speechwriter for George Wallace.
Which is the exact same thing, just a slow release, a delayed release meth. What percentage, if you had to guess? Oh. I mean, it's probably lower than we think because in my head I think it's like 40%, but it's probably about 15%. If I'm really guessing, like trying to win some money. God, that's a lot. 15% is a lot.
Well, what's crazy is it just turns kids into a zombie. Yeah. It's so sad. Like I used to work in a pharmacy for a long time and just seeing like – How many parents are coming in there giving their kid and their kid's just like zonked out. They look like they're in one floor of the cuckoo's nest. And they're just like, oh, here's my kid.
This like high level amount of Ritalin or whatever, Vyvanse, Adderall. It is wild. Yeah, it's spooky. It was a party drug.
Yeah, because it's easy to do. And you have a doctor telling you it's okay. So that immediately gives you some reassurance. Why would a medical professional tell me this is okay?
Yeah, it is. Great fucking song. Running for the shelter. Yeah, I think that was the Valium days, right? Was that what it was? Well, yeah. I mean, I don't know if they didn't necessarily call it that, but there was like speed and Valium. Right. Like an upper and a downer. Right. You take the upper to get all your chores done as a housewife, and then you take the downer so you didn't kill your kids.
Yeah. I think they legitimately didn't know back then. Oh, yeah, for sure. Any excuse after that, you're out of your mind, like the Oxycontin, you know, all Yeah. Oh, for sure.
Not the comic, but the governor of Alabama, George Wallace, who was the segregation now, segregation forever. As you said, a massive piece of shit in the video. Massive, horrible human being. I mean, yeah, just an all-around knucklehead. So he's a speechwriter for that guy. He helped write that speech, the Segregation Now, Segregation Forever. He was a co-writer of that speech.
No, that's how it is. Yeah. Because if you prescribe it, they give you a $500 gift card to a steakhouse. Yeah. They'll buy you a new car.
Incentivizing anything. Medical. Medical.
Whoa. Yeah, to push their medicine over another medicine, even though their medicine might have worse side effects or maybe not even be the exact right one.
I'm on a couple of pharmaceuticals. What are you on? Effexor. And I took a Klonopin about two hours ago. Whoa. A very small dose. It actually did absolutely nothing. Maybe it kicks in at five. We'll find out. What is a Fexor? Is that an SSRI? Yeah, it's an SSRI. And when did you start getting on that stuff? I started taking those probably 2013. Yeah, and I've never noticed a difference.
I just keep taking them because I think at some point it's going to work.
I mean, well, you never know. Sometimes there's like a delay in the effectiveness.
Yeah, because I started – well, whenever I started drinking a lot, I was like – it said you're not supposed to do both. I was just like, I'll just take the alcohol. Yeah.
Well, the alcohol worked for sure. Oh, really? Interesting. Well, that night it worked real well. And then the next day it's like, you know. That's the problem. Yeah. I mean, if my ceiling was stronger, I'd have a noose hanging up there.
You like just stumbling? Yeah. Being hammered? Yeah, I like waking up and being like, why is my knee bleeding? That's a great feeling.
There's like a quote. I don't know whose it is. It's definitely not mine. But like getting drunk is you're just buying happiness from tomorrow. Ooh. It's a great quote. I mean, it makes sense. It is great. Because that is what you're doing. You're getting twice as happy, but tomorrow you're going to have zero happiness. Yeah. And I was buying like weeks ahead.
Then things kind of fell apart from him. George Wallace was like, you're too racist for me, buddy. Like, I just don't want him to go to school with my kids. Like, I don't want them to not exist. Oh, my God. And, yeah, so he moved to Florida, changed his name kind of, I think, to Forrest Carter. I think is the way he changed his name, too, and started writing books.
Well, he just knocked out a 5K. Good for him. I know. I got invited to go do that, and I couldn't turn that down fast enough. Yeah. I was like, y'all, no. No, I'm not going to go run a 5K unless someone's chasing me.
I thought it was even more than that, but maybe. Is it more than that? I think. I think. I don't want to say.
It's wild. He looks like a different person. It is wild. That's a lot. I mean. Yeah, see, 180 is what I thought I had heard.
Unbelievable. I mean, that's an adult human.
No, you're really not. Yeah, that's... Jelly Roll looks like a totally different human being. Yeah, I mean, he looks good. He looks great. I mean, that's crazy.
Yeah. In how long? I mean, it hasn't been that long, I don't think. I mean, I think... Yeah, that's...
Whoa. I mean, he could. Why not? Why not? Yeah, if he did 5K, he can do it. 5K is what, three and a half miles? Uh-huh. Yeah. Wow. So having a marathon is 13.1 or 13, I guess.
The wrestling an alligator thing, I can tell you from first-hand experience, you can be any weight and wrestle a fucking alligator.
Why not? I mean, I feel like the bigger you are. If you're going to die, you're going to die. Well, I figure the bigger you are, the better at wrestling you are. For an alligator? You don't want to be 120 pounds and jump on the back of an alligator.
Their whole thing is rolling. But they wouldn't be able to roll quite as much. If I'm on the back of an alligator, that thing is not budging.
That could be true. I think you're really wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.
I would like to test it.
One of them was The Rebel Outlaw Josie Wales, which, you know. Clint Eastwood turned into. God.
Stop! Well, see, a crocodile's different. A crocodile's very vicious. An alligator's basically just a giant turtle. I mean, you could just smack that thing around. It's not going to do anything to you. They eat people.
Have you ever been close to one? Fuck yeah. Yeah, I've snuck up on, well, accidentally snuck up on one once. And it is, it's kind of terrifying hearing the, I can't make the sound, but that like, you know, that sound they make. Bro, they're dinosaurs. They're heartless, soulless eating machines. Yeah, I was going to take a piss by a tree and just heard that sound.
I was like, and it was nighttime, so I'm like. Oh, I don't like that that just happened. That's not good. And look around. There's one not, like, super close, but close enough to get a good look and be like, ooh.
That's how Stephen King had Richard Bachman, remember? Exactly. He wrote Running Man. Yes. He wrote Running Man as Richard Bachman and other things too. Yeah. Yeah. What is it?
It is crazy when you go to Florida because I'm pretty close to Caddo Lake, which I don't know if you're familiar with Caddo Lake. No. But it's like the largest natural lake in Texas. It looks like you went back in time 5 million years, 60 million years. Like it's the scariest looking place on the planet. And it's just filled with alligators. So we would go there as a kid all the time.
And, yeah, you'd see alligators. But nobody cares. People were just like out barbecuing, like grilling up against the lake. And, you know, obviously the meat.
being around like these alligators just come up just don't care literally just like all right that's so crazy yeah so crazy that people just tolerate dinosaurs yeah i mean i guess just you know they don't do anything to people like unprovoked really like uh as far as i know i mean
They certainly can. Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, we have them. Yeah, so like my family, a lot of them live in Gonzales. I don't know if you're familiar with that. It's probably San Antonio. And they go, like, bow fishing for gars. And we used to go fishing for gars, like in a spillway, just fish for these bastards. You can't eat them or grow them.
We would just pull them up and then smash their head with a rock.
Yeah, well, I mean, what am I supposed to say?
There's got to be bigger ones than that. I wonder if it was... Jesus Christ.
They also don't attack people. No. No, they don't. Like, very kind of skittish.
Yeah, it's like a sturgeon, like this huge-ass sturgeon in Alaska where you're like, oh. From a different time.
God, I mean, it's so crazy.
It's definitely not mine.
These things all look like they have nostrils.
Oh, yeah. Oh, 100%. That seems like a many million year old fish. I would guess like 100. Oh, there it is. 100 million years. In the Cretaceous.
Yeah, they overlapped for 35 million years. Isn't that nuts?
Yeah, or like me, smash his head in with your rock while your uncle's drunk.
Dude, try it. I'd pretty much try anything. So, yeah, I'd try. I've eaten worse things. I had beaver once. I bet you have. Really? Well, I wasn't. Me too, one day.
He cooks on the show. Yeah, all the time. Yeah, I'd try it. I mean, there's not really any. I'd eat a dog. I'd try. I couldn't eat a dog. I couldn't eat a person. Like, I could eat a person if I had to eat a person. I don't think it would take all that much.
Do you drink coffee? No, I'm good. I'm good.
Yeah. I mean, what was the name? General Butt Naked. You ever heard of him?
Yeah. People. I mean, that's how he found he busted that guy at that market, you know, serving human meat.
It worked. He's still alive. Beyond some. That's the thing. You can dismiss it all you want. Yeah, but the proof is in the pudding, as they say.
Yeah, with James Monroe and Monrovia. I mean, well, I know that it was a colony basically to send African- Slaves. Slaves back to Africa. Exactly. Yeah, that's why the capital is Monrovia. It's named after James Monroe.
It's not really like a nice thing to do to someone. I mean, fucking yo. Yeah, that's insane. I mean, I don't care if you found Jesus. But he found Jesus. Hold on.
Is that actually why he got let off?
It's not like he got off. They just didn't even try. That's how bad that place is. Yeah, because he was under, what's that guy's name, Charles Taylor. Charles Taylor was an absolute nut job as well. You ever seen Machine Gun Preacher with Gerard Butler? No, I didn't. Oh, you've got to watch that movie. Yeah? So good. Machine Gun Preacher. Yeah, it sounds like it. When does this one come out?
Maybe 2014, 2015 or so. It's decently old. 2011, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's based on a true story of a guy who had some alcohol, like drug issues, I believe. And here it is. Machine Gun Preacher. Yeah.
Yeah, it's a... I'll check that out. Jamie, will you do me a favor and sign me up? Nope. Yeah, he went to Africa. Like this guy, yeah, went to Africa and started like building these like, you know, kind of, I guess not orphanages, but like schools basically.
And then obviously, you know, the warlords would come in and burn these schools down because they don't want them being built and try to take the money that's being donated. So he started like going over there. Like he was at one point just kind of, you know, getting money and sending it there. And then he was like, well, I should go over there.
They would go everywhere, all the crazy places.
It's amazing just how crazy people are.
Just because he's not doing it doesn't mean somebody else isn't.
Yeah. Well, and also, yeah, climate change, sure, worry about it. But like that kid's going to get his heart ripped out in the next 15 minutes. Let's go ahead and like worry about him.
And then, yeah, let's go ahead and worry about him for a little bit. Then we'll go to climate after that.
The problem is those people would never listen to that. They'd be like, well, you just saw the bad side of ISIS. You got ISIS on a bad day.
He had a pseudonym for a pseudonym.
Don't do that. Yeah. Just reassure them. Just tell them it's flat. Don't worry. It is flat. You don't got to worry about it. Imagine if it was.
All in cahoots. All CGI. They've all been in cahoots for this whole time. Was it Socrates or Aristotle? I think Aristotle that mapped it out back in 3,000 years ago.
There's also just a lot of real dumb people. There's also some people who like, they also want to like think that everything's a cover up. I don't trust NASA. Like, why would I trust NASA? Yeah. I don't know. Why not? Like, like we didn't go to the moon. So the earth must be flat. I guess if those two things are related, I don't know.
That's my favorite. I'm with it. Yeah. I'm with you too. Yeah. I like a good deep dive, but sometimes just give me the damn.
Yeah. I don't like thinking about any of that stuff. He weirded me out. Yeah, I don't like space. I'll leave that alone. I don't know. Space. Because also, like, what happened before? Oh, yeah. And then what happened before that?
Well, yeah, yeah, which is the problem because then sometimes it's just, I don't know. I couldn't have that be, which, you know.
great for like those people i could not have that be my life this is coming up with these theorems and like studying them because you're never going to get an answer but it doesn't have to be you i'm glad it's not you oh well yeah yeah for sure i'm glad you do what you do it's like exactly no i'm glad that they do it i'm just saying like for me it would drive me right absolutely because i can't i have to like know an answer right i can't i hate like hypotheticals and like
Like string theory. I hate it. That could piss off. I don't need to know any about that. That one's weird. Yeah. Any of that stuff. I like this happened on this day. This is who was involved. This is what happened. Right. Hard. That kind of stuff.
But even so far is only so far. Well, and then they're saying like it's always expanding. That can't be true because like what is it expanding into? If space is space, you know, if they're like, oh, it's like blowing up a balloon where everything's – okay, well, you're blowing up a balloon in a room. Right. So what's the room that you're blowing the balloon into?
And then that's in a bigger room and then that's in this.
But then who made all that? Right. Like is there a God? Did God make this? Or is God the universe? Yeah, but then who made God? And then that bothers me. Right. Like who made that thing?
That's fair. Yeah, that we see things as being built and destroyed.
For the movie? That's the movie's George A. Romero. So it says Stephen King there for sure. That's why it says Stephen King is because they're selling it. Yeah, you'd have to find a picture of the book and see if like the book says. But bottom line is. They all say Stephen King. They all say.
Because what started that? What kicked that off? What snapped its fingers?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good one.
Yeah, yeah. Okay. I can't buy that. I'm sticking with Jesus on that one.
It makes a hell of a lot more sense.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Tell that one. Was it Nancy Green or Ann Green? I think Ann Green. Yeah, she had basically a miscarriage and died. At the time, it was basically like, oh, you're a witch. We're going to kill you because your baby's not – it didn't live. So she just buried the thing, acted like nothing happened. They tried her, convicted her.
Yeah, they caught her thinking that she had killed the kid. Like why would you be just burying your baby? Like they weren't really thinking that, oh, yeah, she had a miscarriage. Hung her. I mean, as far as they know, she's dead. Put her in a box, wooden box, take her to a mortuary. And the guy's, you know, getting her ready to prep her to bury her. And she wakes back up after they start doing it.
Like, they feel, well, they feel like a faint pulse. And they're like, oh, my God, this woman's still alive. But she's not, like, coherent and alert. So they start giving her, like, tobacco smoke enemas, which, oh, it's got to be a great time. Whose idea, how do you go to that one first? Well, I don't know. I think slapping the hell out of her probably was the first option.
I got a tube and a pack of Marlboros. Yeah, pouring hot. Yeah, they poured this, which I don't know what cordial. I think it's just some sort of like liquid.
The term derives from obsolete usage. It's basically Robitussin.
A pulitz? Pultus? Pultus? Oh, I didn't know about the pultus.
A soft, moist mass. A moist mass. So basically putting like a hot, you know. Soft materials like cereals.
Ew. I don't know. So they put oatmeal on her.
So they put oatmeal on her tits. They put a big bowl of oatmeal on her tits.
Well, Running Man was for sure Richard Bachman. Okay. Let's see if Running Man says Stephen King. And I think Talisman. I think that was one that also... He had a fake picture and everything? That's amazing. That's so wild. I wonder who that guy is.
Well, Jesus, it was after three days. I feel like after three days, you're already stinking. People were tougher back then, bro. Well, that's true. 2,000 years ago, people were. They were tougher. They had some gumption to them.
Yeah, and Jesus went through some stuff by the time he hit 33. Oh, man.
Yeah. Because they were basically doing like survival of the fittest. I mean that was life, you know? If you have a kid who comes out all gimpy, you just throw that fucker off a cliff.
Especially if you lived in the north like that. Oh, God. Like, can you imagine being a Viking, just living in like Iceland, Greenland? Yeah, your house is made out of sticks and there's polar bears outside. God, yeah. And it just sucks. There's nothing to do. I wouldn't like that one bit. I'm real glad I live right now. I would have liked to have lived a couple decades back, I think.
I think I'd be more comfortable, like in the 70s or 80s.
Oh, my job wouldn't exist. Everybody would think you're bullshitting. Well, everybody already does. Cody Tucker is full of shit, man. He's making stuff up about the past. That's what most people already think I'm doing anyways, which is fine. Well, how do you research it? Like how do you find crazy facts? I just – well, one, just read like books constantly. So like I'll say like Napoleon.
I'll be like, all right, let me find a book on Napoleon, read about Napoleon. And I'm mostly just skimming through looking to like find something that seems interesting. Or then I'll just Google like interesting shit about Napoleon and then read through it. Half of it is not true. So I got to sift through that and then put it all together into like kind of a story and –
I mean, there was some good notating what's going on. But how would you know? You barely know. I mean, really, you don't even have to go back to the 20s. Right. Who now is going to be like, oh, yeah, that did happen? Well, yeah.
Well, that's why so many people think some – have a hard time knowing for sure whether some people even existed. Like Achilles. Like people still believe that he necessarily existed. I mean they didn't believe that entire war happened until like relatively recently. Yeah.
Just some dude. He's a buddy.
Yeah, exactly. I don't know a date. I'm thinking the 50s, if I had to guess. I think it was, like, kind of close. But, yeah, they just knew. Less than 100 years ago. Yeah, I think so. Which is nuts. Yeah, they just knew Homer. They just knew the Iliad, the Odyssey, and all those things and thought it was all big time.
Because then if you know that that war is true, like once you've discovered that that did happen, then it's like, so was Achilles real? So was Agamemnon real? It's hard to know. Is Odysseus real? Right. But obviously there's things in there that aren't real.
Maybe all those weird things got killed off.
Oh, he wrote Thinner, too. When he inspired it by Bachman Turner Overdrive, which is amazing. That's hilarious. BTO, one of the greatest bands of all time.
That is crazy. Watch how you go further out. Look at that.
That's crazy. So from a, yeah, that is so wild.
Oh, it's a Mauritania. Okay. Isn't that nuts? That is amazing. Look at that.
No. No, no, no. Richard is a tribute to author. Got it. Did he write Vanessa Bachman? He did. There should be like a bibliography. At the last moment, he changed it.
Right. So it lines up perfectly for it.
Yeah. That's what happens with this true crime community people because they'll sometimes bust a case wide open. Cops and detectives hate it because it's like you're just a guy sitting on your couch at home. And you did more than what I did. But, you know, obviously, like, a detective has all these different cases. Like, they're not going to – they're going to make a few mistakes.
And some probably do just not give a shit. Fucking ego. Yeah, yeah. But that's part of it is that they will just dismiss the leads because somebody will, like, call in and be like, hey, like, have you all checked this person on this date? Like, ask where they were. And they're like, we did it. Don't worry about it. And, of course, they never did. So it is – so that is kind of a similar situation.
Like, we want – We want to be the ones to find it, not you, so we don't care that you've gone out and done your own thing. Exactly. And have a theory that may be true. I mean, it may be bullshit, but it may be true.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Yeah. I thought it was even earlier than that. Could be. Maybe they've updated it. I know the footprints.
So what did they think before that? 13.
Well, it wasn't that long ago when people found out about the Vikings coming over to New England. Yes. That was a somewhat recent discovery. I mean, obviously not in the past couple of years, but it was... Not very well known that, like, Leif Erikson's son, I guess it was Eric the Red. Yeah, so Leif Erikson, like, coming over, you know, 500 years before Columbus. I know. Isn't that nuts?
Yeah, and they were here. I mean, they just didn't settle. In North America. So it's not significant. But, you know, they were here. So who's to say that there weren't people way before them? And then there's all these different routes you can take. And there's ideas of, like, the Phoenicians coming or maybe the Egyptians, like, coming into South America. Yeah.
Even longer than that, like thousands of years ago. Yeah. There's those theories, which, yeah, who knows? I don't know.
That's amazing. Have you ever seen that movie? Yes. Yes. I read the book, too. Yeah.
I don't know. Either way.
Let's forget about it. But I think Running Man. I'm pretty sure Running Man is one of them. Sure.
Yeah, which 100 years is such a long time. In the jungle. For that kind of vegetation force. Yeah, I mean, that's not a... Yeah, it's not the middle of the desert where those structures will last for thousands of years.
That's so crazy. Yeah. I mean, could you imagine, like, you'd feel like such a jackass, you know, having everybody come back there and you're. Well, it's essentially what we did with North America.
Yeah. Which is – I mean it was the same in like the Indies. Yeah. Whenever Columbus came. Everywhere. Just massive amounts of people.
Well, we have like, I mean, there's obviously like a Eurocentric idea, but a lot of the times where we think like, oh, we're the only ones who could have ever come up with like these advanced technologies and like had these advanced civilizations. And you look and it was like in Africa, there was all sorts of like massive civilizations. Which is about the Aztecs. Yeah, yeah.
And then, of course, like, yeah, South America is a huge, I mean, like the Olmecs, Aztecs, Mayans. Especially the Aztecs, though. Yeah, the Aztecs is a giant.
But see, at the top it said Running Man. Yeah. Yeah, okay, okay. I just –
That was Cortez. Cortez was the first, I think, I think for the Aztecs. I think so, right? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. God, no. That's so great. You know, Thomas Jefferson brought mac and cheese here. He's the guy?
Made it popular. I mean, like, it was like nobody ate that shit. He went to Paris, you know, obviously, like, for pre-American Revolution to get some buddies going. And, yeah, brought back mac and cheese. Also, like, one of the first Americans to cultivate tomatoes. Really? People thought they were poisonous, which to an extent they are.
Yeah, it's a nightshade. Tomatoes and eggplants. Yeah.
I mean every Italian in the world just, you know.
Yeah. Yeah, you know, I couldn't be. No. No, I can't be. There's no way it's that bad for you. Avocados are very good. Yeah. Or from what I thought, nobody should be taking that advice from me.
I mean, you know, peanuts. I mean, you know, Texas Roadhouse damn near went bankrupt over all that stuff. Really? Kind of. I mean, but they don't do the whole— They should have sued the vaccine companies. Should have. But you can't. Yeah, exactly.
But they don't do the whole, you know, you used to go and then you'd crush up your peanuts and you'd just dump that shit on the floor and smash it in with your feet. Isn't that nuts?
Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What a great way to kill someone if you really wanted to and get away with it. Right. I didn't know. Just peanut dust someone. Yeah. Just eat a BB&J and just – Pocket peanuts?
Great way to kill someone. It is nuts.
It is because I'm allergic to seafood, like shellfish, any shellfish. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, really? Yeah. That's what was from that. That's how I found that out. Well, because there is a thing where scientists who research cockroaches usually tend to develop an allergy to coffee and to roaches and I think also to shellfish.
Yeah, because they're just studying roaches constantly, which, what a fucking job. But yeah, they end up developing a coffee allergy. But yeah, that's interesting. Why coffee?
I don't know. I mean, probably because roaches are...
It's all like a writer in Maine. Well, and they're all based on just things that are happening to him, like- I can't remember which book it is that's about him going through alcohol DTs. Oh, fuck. I can't remember. But let's put up the bookography.
See, in my mind I thought it was because there was a bunch of cockroaches in pre-ground coffee. Ew. There's bugs in, like, all kinds of shit.
Grind that shit up. No, you got to— You drink Folgers? I don't drink coffee, but if I did, I'd drink Folgers. Why would you drink that? Maxwell House. I don't know. I mean, I grew up poor and buy trash.
Okay. That does actually sound fucking good. That sounds fucking good.
I'm sure not. Because if you like coffee, like I like the flavor. I like what it tastes like. Yes, I do too. It just gives me panic attacks. Do you try that? Well, and then there's the decaf. Decaf gives me a fucking headache and I don't know how they did it. Right. Yeah. How are you doing that? Yes. Like what? It's not like you can go in and pick out the caffeine.
It's not like an ingredient in there. You're putting it through some sort of chemical process. Yeah. Is that safe? I don't think so. And how many studies have been done on your decaffeination process? No, I just drink tea. I'm a big tea guy.
You've been reading all that? Oh, well, I have so much plastic inside of me. I mean, who knows? I mean, the amount of Lunchables I've eaten growing up.
Oh, my God, so many times. You just heat things up in, like, plastic that's all broken to shit. Always, always.
I don't think this macaroni and cheese is supposed to taste like this, but...
It's hard to know because it's not like – how many brains have you looked at? Well, yeah, and then also like it's not like there is an actual spoon shoved in your head. I mean it's all spread out. It's all spread out.
I think you do in your brain. Your brain is mostly water. I mean not just you. I'm not insulting you.
He wrote so many bangers. Carrie's number one, and then it's like Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Shining.
So it may be zero and it may be 10%.
Oh, I need some of that.
Yeah, I need that desperately.
I've seen this. It's a month, I think. I think it's a month. The credit card amount of plastic is consumed.
We're like, where's it all going?
Do you not just shit out the plastic credit card? I would hope so. Yeah. I would hope so.
I don't trust animal studies. The only way you really know is if you try it on people. Right, that's why we've got to put them prisoners. Back in Alcatraz. Well, do what you got to do. I mean, yeah.
Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. Yes. That's amazing. I mean, a grand opening.
Yeah, it's just too hard Well, the shining kind of does because it's being done by Stanley Kubrick, right? But he hated it Which is so nuts.
Oh, you're talking about the Diaz.
Well, the Diaz brothers, that's a set of balls unlike no other. Those guys are legends. For sure. In every sense of the word. That doesn't surprise me at all, actually, that he's swimming from Alcatraz. Makes sense.
So he came into the UFC kind of later into his career.
You ever just see someone and you're like, you're so different than me. So different. Our lives couldn't be more different.
He's doing half of the Daytona 500 on a broken foot.
I mean, I wouldn't even go do that fat boy 5K. You think I'm going to be doing that?
So it started this morning?
Who? Robin Williams. Oh, my God. He would have nailed it. Robin Williams or Harrison Ford.
Could you imagine running 48 miles in a day and you're in second place? Not even in a day.
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I can't. But you imagine you run 48 miles and you're like, well, you lost. Yeah, bro, you're way behind.
Yeah, it's nuts. Yeah, I'd put a shotgun in my mouth so quick before I did any of that.
I love how different – like whenever I go back and look at like – people from history or whatever, that's like one of the things I like the most about it is like how I'm like, God, that person's night and day different from me. But that's so cool that they did what they did or, you know, whatever, like a Teddy Roosevelt. Like there's nothing about me that is like Teddy Roosevelt.
Yeah, I mean, that remains to be seen. But we'll find out together.
How about that dude that ate that guy's heart that had been pickled for like – Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, William Buckland. Yeah, he ate King Louis XIV's heart, which had been – Tell that fucking story. Yeah, well, yeah, King Louis XIV just in general an absolute nut job. You know, birthing fetish, like to watch women give birth, which don't we all. But, yeah. But yeah, so he dies.
130 years later, you know, his heart has been preserved in what I guess would be formaldehyde. And it's sitting in this guy's office, basically. And a fellow, I think he was like the Archbishop of Canterbury. I don't know, some lord, whatever their little fruity little names they give each other.
One-hour photo. Oh, that's it. That's it, dude. That movie is so good. Oh, my God. It's insane. He's so good in it. He might be one of the greatest actors of all time. Crazy how good he is in that movie because you just really believe he's a psycho. Yeah, because he's so lovable at first, but there's all these little signs that keep this guy away from your kids. There's layers.
Well, preserved. I mean, it's about as preserved as it gets. It's been preserved for 130 years.
Yeah, it wasn't in the microwave.
Like, what are you doing, man? The smell of formaldehyde. Have you ever dissected, like, an animal or something in school? Yeah, yeah, yeah, in high school. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That smell is like a smell that I can smell it right now thinking about it, you know? Like, it's one of those things that never leaves you. It's like a dead body smell.
So Charles, Major General Charles George Gordon. So it's the third paragraph starts the William Buckland, I think.
So then right here, Buckland was born. I think that's all going to be about him.
There's layers to that story. Yeah. That's such a great movie. He was a bummer when he died, man. That one bummed me out. Yeah, I've only cried a couple times when a famous person died. That's one of them. I broke down. Heath Ledger and Steve Irwin were the others. Yeah, that was a bummer. Yeah, Steve Irwin especially.
Jesus Christ. I mean, the porpoise probably wouldn't be so bad. I'd eat the puppy. It's like dog veal. Yeah, I guess.
I think he had a real good reason.
Yeah. What if it just tasted amazing for some reason?
Yeah, Lord Harcourt. That's who I was talking about.
About to find out. I had a fish starter. I think this is. Might be some sort of. Is it just a joke?
Oh, Portuguese man o' war. That's a pretty cool looking thing.
Yeah, you know, I kind of do want to eat that. I'm sort of with him on this.
Yeah, Manowar's a jellyfish. So that must be insanely toxic. But I think Manowar, aren't they like, yeah, like super venomous?
That doesn't seem like it'd be the worst thing, though.
Yeah, how long did that guy live?
Oh, he lived for a pretty good amount of time. Pretty decent amount of time. 84 to 72.
Yeah, and just coming to your house one after another and not washing your hands.
That was a doctor back then. They thought germs didn't exist. Yeah, they were dirty fingers pulling babies out.
Nuts. Have you ever heard of a tarar? What's that? A tarar was a guy. A T-A-R-R-A-R-E, I think. What's this, Jamie?
That's a fun one. I can buy it to an extent because there are so many fakes. Here's the reality.
Well, some of the like real big ones, you're like – They've never found one of those. They just find like a- Some stuff, right? They find some stuff and then they go, well, we think it probably looked like this based on its vertebrae looking like this. Right. And when you go see the skeleton at the Perot Museum or wherever, that's all fake.
There's maybe one piece in there that's real. Right. There are some of those. So I can kind of get the skepticism behind that a little bit. Yeah. But to say like, oh, the whole thing's- Like that there's no such thing as a dinosaur. That's bullshit.
I don't know how much of it they found.
Which is nuts. Jesus. Because it's probably what, like, the Badlands were, I imagine.
Yeah. It was bananas, man. Ocean of America.
They'll be back soon. Yeah, yeah.
Isn't that nuts? Also, all of Texas is...
Jesus. Yeah. I mean, because a gar is like the least of. That's like a minnow compared to some of the shit.
God, man. They think that's why they went extinct. I hope they bring dinosaurs back. They probably are going to. Yeah. I mean, part of me is kind of against it, but then part of me is because Josh Park's my favorite movie.
While everyone was making fun of him for looking skinny and creepy looking. It's like... Crazy. Yeah. Crazy. Which...
I'm going to rock that shit. What more badass of a thing could there possibly be than a T-Rex fanny pack? I know, right? I'm with you. Yeah, T-Rex Crocs.
Clever girl. Yeah, that would be... God. Dude. I'd love it. I hope they do.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Like some crazy monster.
Yeah. That actually makes – I've never seen an elephant skull, so I had no clue there was – Do they have that big hole?
He told no one. Yeah. You could kind of... It's one of those things that you can tell when you look back. Like, when you look back and watch, like...
I think it is, Jamie. That's got to be it. I mean, it makes sense because the trunk just goes right to the mouth.
episodes of like his show you know norm's show and you're like yeah oh i know you see the puffiness and the drowned eyes his eyes looks very tired that that to me that's the funniest human being of all time he's one of the all-time greats yeah for sure so i'm sure you met him quite a bit i would imagine i accidentally sat next to him twice on airplanes
It just seems like they wouldn't be gone. They wouldn't be the ones that would have been killed off.
So you think they were around, like, way long ago. Way long ago. They died off way long ago. Yeah.
I guess it could be. It could be. Because if you're just mythologizing, that's a word. But if you're just, you know, turning something that is real. This is the same with like a dragon. You know, people obviously just get inspired by things that are around them. They start to morph into things. fire-breathing animal flying around. Probably crocodiles and shit like that. Yeah, crocodiles.
I mean, I've always been interested in, like, random facts, like, you know. origin stories of words like movies, all these different things like the dark side of history.
And then there are cobras that spit venom, which obviously gets in your eyes. It's probably going to burn like a son of a bitch. So there's the fire myth. And people exaggerate. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
So people will take somebody who is a big son of a bitch, and they go, oh, well, let's exaggerate and say that the guy he fought was nine feet tall instead of six foot five, which he probably was. Yeah.
Yeah. Who were naturally big as hell.
That's a tough, because that's the answer. That's the question for so many things.
I would say, yeah, they'd probably say. Isn't that infuriating? Yeah.
Yeah. I'm. I'm telling everyone.
And we were already friends. Yeah.
Well, back then, that was probably fucking huge. They said they found it in China? Yeah. That's a giant. And they're calling it, yeah, they call it a giant. It might be Mongolian, you know? Well, just compared to the Chinese that are found, they're probably like, holy shit.
That's nuts. Is it Muggsy Bogues?
5'4", 120, I think. Nuts. Yeah.
Starving to shoot people with muskets.
Yeah. Because there's tons of people that are well over seven feet.
Holy shit. Oh, that's not a picture of him, I guess.
Look at this guy. There you go. Bro, you do not want to box that guy. 7'6". 7'6". Well, she must be pretty tall. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. She can be having this 5'8 guy.
is is there's some sort of a story it's just parsing out what it really was after a thousand years of people just telling it before somebody writes it down yeah that's i think it's more just yeah you know you're getting word of mouth over so like such a long time and it's probably exaggerated from the jump because you're just trying to tell trying to tell a story like creativity isn't a new thing you know people were always creative and
And always lying. Yeah, and always lying and always trying to like use their imagination. Exaggerating. Yeah, and ultimately to create some sort of allegory. Right. So I don't think any of it was true. I think it was all just, you know, I think it makes sense how it all got created and how every culture has their own version. To me, it's like an echo of the truth.
Without a doubt. I mean, that's part of the Epic of Gilgamesh, this giant flood. I mean, that's the oldest story ever written that we know of. And it's not the only one that depicts a massive flood. Yeah. Pretty much every religion that's that old has some story involving a flood. Yeah.
Well, the flood is – yeah, so I do think that – because that's part of allegory is like taking something that is real and then you just make like almost a fairy tale out of it. Right. But like you still have the – because you're telling – in that sense, you're like saving history. Like you're preserving history, but you're not doing it in the sense that we would do it now where we would like –
dictate time and date and names. You're just saying, oh, there was this great event that happened in our ancestors' time.
It's like the way of saying a fuckload.
Yeah. It could just shut.
I mean, that's – yeah, that's – I mean, that's how – If you were trying to recall that story. Right. You would say, yeah, on this day this happened, this day that happened. But ultimately it's just day after day after day and then seven day you rest and otherwise, yeah, you're done.
Yeah. I mean that's what – yeah, because like Greek mythology, all those – it's like an actual birth. It all starts with like there's darkness and then there's light. And that's like a common theme with pretty much every religion, every mythology is there was a sea of darkness, then there was light.
Yeah, it's just turning on a light.
Yeah, exactly. You'd be like, yeah, imagine walking into a dark room and flicking a light switch, and suddenly everything's here. There was light. Yeah. I mean, that's the common theme throughout any of those religions. Yeah.
I mean, the KKK is just not good. They aren't big enough assholes. Meanwhile, it's such a good movie. It sucks. Yeah, it is. I mean, it's not like you can't watch that damn movie.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, people love learning shit. You just got to make it interesting. Yeah. School, I hated school, but I had a couple teachers that made it interesting, and I loved every day going to those classes. Every other class could get fucked. I was trying to skip. I was trying to do whatever I could to get out of there. Yeah, it's unfortunate, right?
It makes – like I had a teacher, Mr. Simmons. It was a high school late.
history teacher and every day would tell like a story kind of similar to that like or not every day but every day before like a big test he would that's how he started off like clear your minds like don't worry about this test like i'm gonna tell you some and he had like this real deep like booming voice it was like the most fascinating shit ever and he would just he would just tell this story that had nothing to do with the ted doesn't matter like he's like this is just interesting like y'all would like this that's great those people are so important yeah i mean he's that's yeah that guy like probably inspired me to do all kinds like more probably more
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I didn't start really just diving into shit until after school. Like I felt like all the way through school, through college, you know, got my degree and all that. I don't think I learned a damn thing. I learned that college was a waste of time. You learned how to get some student debt. Yeah. Who did I? Yeah, yeah. That's all.
I mean, I didn't learn a fucking thing from any of that.
