The Cryptid Factor - 86: #86 The Unforgettable Issue

Episode Date: November 28, 2023

Hot on the heels of the last old episode, this new old episode is jam packed full of ancient chat… mainly about Button’s ancient (and very legal) ayahuasca ceremony, some ancient tree breasts, and... Dan correctly predicting how long it would take to get this ancient episode out. Outside of that hot mess, there’s also scantily-clad deer-lickers, excited Swiftie forgetfulness, ejaculating nets, Instant coffee TV ad premonitions, Big foot sightings with red-eye reductions, Wolverine infestations in California, and a reduced prize for Nessie proof. Also, get ready for an ayahuasca fuelled Button’s Theory Time that proves at last that we’re all in a simulation…Oooooh!!!

In the first year of time, you know. Oh gosh, times of hash. We're out of apples. I don't know, but...
Starting point is 00:01:49 Oh, he's gonna survive. I mean, we've got plenty of bananas, pears, apricots, but the apples we've got no apples. But there's no more chalk. I can't do the cave painting. Ethel? Well, cave painting chalk. Oh, Alibati Gatton, bloody ham found as well, you dickhead. So I tell you something really interesting about this week's episode. Oh, yes. We experienced this in the last episode. Yeah. Which is earlier, like five minutes ago, I was touching buttons. And then like ten minutes before that, Risa was touching you.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Whoa! Canceled! Nice touching! No, I stuck! Because we're still all in the same room! We are! We are! And I did like that touching.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Well yours was a bit more sexual, yeah. Yeah, but that's okay. And I was a lot of stop at. Stop at. But yeah, so we're still in America and it's fantastic to that's the mission. And mine was a lot of stop it. Yeah. Stop it. But yeah, so we're still in America. And it's fantastic to have us all together. We've been on some great missions. We've got a lot of fun.

Starting point is 00:03:02 Oh, that's, yeah, that was really fun And not only that you've been on your own personal journey mission. Oh I want to hear about that this way. It's a good point. Wow. Can you give us a little bit of a teaser before we okay? Well, I was very very brave and I went and did an Iowaska ceremony Did you really? Yeah. I did a full shamanic. Is that a thing? Shamanic?
Starting point is 00:03:31 Yeah, shamanic. Shamanic? Yeah. Iawoska ceremony. Can you do that in New Zealand? No, no. Did it somewhere that were its legal? Where's it legal?
Starting point is 00:03:39 Just down there. You know that's it. Wasn't it legal? It was illegal, wasn't it? No! No, it was very legal. Amazonian, I went to the Amazonian forest. And a shaman there.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Every pocket, at least. Yeah, I know that happening globally. Like a black market kind of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Under the table situation. Yeah, no. So why are you being so dodgy about it? You are.
Starting point is 00:04:01 You are not being dodgy. This guy's hiding locations. Oh, I just don't want You like it. I'm just going to give you guys hiding locations. Oh, I just don't want to flood everybody. I had such an awesome experience. I don't want it to get real too popular. I want to keep it for myself. I see. You're going to tell us about that experience today
Starting point is 00:04:17 in this podcast. Well, guess what? What? The plants gave me something very special. Wow. Something we haven't had for quite a while Which I think you guys should be very excited about cryptid news I'm just gonna research that shortly. No it gave me a theory
Starting point is 00:04:39 So in a little while it may may be granted a button's theory time. Okay. So yeah, so that was, it was worth it just for that. But yeah, I can't wait to tell you all about it. It was, it was amazing. It was incredible. Awesome. Yeah. Well, shall I tell you now? Um, no, no, I think we'll do everyone's favorite segment. It's button theory time. Is that now?
Starting point is 00:05:10 Weekly world weird news. Crazy. Freaky watch out. Right, well, I'll go first then. Okay. Well, very confident now since the I once get there. There's a whole new man. No, no, it's happened. You said what your story is earlier.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah, I just know what's happening here. You said what your story is earlier Yeah, I just know what I just know that you've got the same news as me. What is it and I've got nothing else. Okay, so here's my Same time. So mine's from Fox News. Mine's from Fox News is box news is scantily played witches caught munching on deer carcass in bizarre security cam footage. What are you heavily on? Wow I've got pulling up minds on Fox news and minds scantily. Okay, great. It's dead, it's dead touching your game. You want to be free? Stop it? Stop it.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Is that why we're filming it? It's a evidence there. From now on, we just need proof for the court. Right. Do you want to kick into it? Well, I got a headline. So, I suppose, I suppose, Jane wants to be in the show.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Just a quick reminder about how we do our show. We do, usually a different headline each, none of these multi-pack headlines, and then we go into it. Okay, my story is multiple Taylor Swift fans going online. On dear cackens. On dear cackens.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Going online and reporting memory loss for her gigs. What? Lots of people going on, I have no memory of what happened in that gig. Did she play that song? I have no memory, and they're all going online, going, wait, I have that too, wait. So what's going on? Yeah, so we're getting to that.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Hang on, wow. So memory loss, but just of the concert, not memory loss. Of the concert. You go to the concert and then you start losing memory loss. No, no, no, you walk away from the concert going. But what happened with that? I don't remember anything that happened just then. Seeing footage that they filmed themselves going, I don't remember that song being played.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Okay. Yeah. All right, well let's get into that in a minute. Ah, yeah. I've got a theory on that. You've got. Stop unpacking that. There's a headline. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:07:14 You can stay long if I've gotten how to play this. Yeah, you can have this headline buttons. Oh, I get a headline gift. Yeah. Here you go. Oh, here we go. Here's a headline for me. This is something I just really hate. A headline gift. A headline gift. Gifting Here you go. Here we go. Here's a headline for me. Oh, that's a nice, really bad headline gift.
Starting point is 00:07:25 A headline gift. A headline gift. Gift to the poor. Gift to the unprepared. Yeah. Okay, here's something that's just been handed from Dan's phone over to me. This is nice. It's could be in the same room.
Starting point is 00:07:39 It's a big gift. That's amazing. But also we can go into your ayahuasca story potentially off the back of this. Oh. So, yeah. And that catch, maybe you should go third. Yeah. That's amazing. But also we can go into your ayahuasca story potentially off the back of this. Oh! So that's what it is. And that catch maybe you should go third. Yeah. Yeah, we go third.
Starting point is 00:07:50 But I'm ready to hit line out. I can never see what the headline... Okay, but here we go. Forest Rangers searching for tree with breasts. Okay. I like that one. Insonian forest. Yeah. Wow, thank you for this wonderful gift. It's Sonian Forest. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Wow, thank you for this wonderful gift. That's so funny. Thank you. Oh, wow. I can be my phone back now. Can you go, wow, how am I going to read my news? I'll just make it up. I'll just make it up.
Starting point is 00:08:17 I'll just make it up. I'll just make it up. I'll just make it up. I'll just make it up. I'll just make it up. I'll just make it up. I'll just make it up. I'll just make it up. I'll just make it up. I'll just make it up's into the ayahuasca thing as well, to some degree.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Well, yes and no. I mean, both are becoming very popular at the moment, isn't it? Witchcraft and ayahuasca ceremony. Yeah, but what's the story? The story? The story, the story. Basically, a nurse and a nature lover in Canada reportedly captured footage of what she said appeared to be two witches holding a carcass eating ritual. With a camera she set up near her home. So I mean that sounds fairly poorly written that sentence there. I would have said she would have set the camera
Starting point is 00:08:57 up first and then captured you know this. So it's like a trail cam. I don't know what the heck was up with that. She says. 36 got her age on there so that's important. It really freaked us out. It's not something you see every day, yep fair enough. After coming across a deer carcass in a garden on her property, this is the slady, karenia stand hope. She set up the camera to survey any animals that might take interest in the dead deer, okay? So that's, you know, as you would do. Me and my grandpa, more, that's cool, that's cute. Put up a trail cam to see if we could see animals.
Starting point is 00:09:38 We got a bobcat on camera, which was pretty cool. She said adding that her 76-year-old grandfather Bob was horrified when he checked the footage and saw what appeared to be scantily clad women chomping down on the carcass at night. Wow. Excuse me. I think I've just spotted a couple of scantily clad witches out there. It's been a month on a carcass.
Starting point is 00:10:05 I have a photo here that you can see. Yeah, I've seen this. Geez, wow. They've been very respectful to the witches and the fact that only posted still images from the video where you can't see any of the nudity. The topless, yeah. Topless with kind of The topless basically. The topless, yeah. Topless with kind of loincloths around the, well, loins, but they've got shaggy long here and they hunched over a carcass. And there's footage of this, so you can see them taking meat into their mouth. No, no, well, I haven't found it.
Starting point is 00:10:37 There's only stills from the video, in this article anyway, but here's where it gets interesting. Stanhope noted that the apparent carcass eaters emerged about 10 minutes after sunset, looking disheveled, and like they were wearing wigs. So maybe to hide there identity, but maybe as a... To me, this is why it's lending itself into the hoax department, because if it was a real satanic thing or just a bizarre witch thing, I don't know from my knowledge why you would add wigs to your thing, unless you are hiding your, but why would they hide their identity? That feels weird. Well yeah, the other thing that
Starting point is 00:11:16 I have been trying to just research quickly whilst you've been yabbing away is... Pettig... whilst you've been yabbing away. Pitting. Pitting. Pitting for me. Pitting with the actual article. Thank you. Is that this person says they have witnessed a carcass eating ritual, like it's an actual thing.
Starting point is 00:11:35 I'm trying to do certain web search internet. I'm using the internet here. Oh wow. So search. Okay. That's the first. Thank you. Yes. Very interesting. But there is no such thing. Oh thank you. Yeah. It's very interesting. But there is no such thing that I can see of a carcass eating ritual. Yeah. This person is creative.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Yes. What, you know, they're going, oh they're doing a carcass eating ritual. There's lots of things about cannibalism and endocannibalism and ritual slaughter. But there's two things going on here, right? Yeah. Firstly, isn't it weird listening to buttons without em buffering all the time? I do the intonation. Yeah. It's a new creature. It's a show.
Starting point is 00:12:13 He's just here. So I did, I did funnily enough, it was Editing the last episode when my internet broke down. I didn't hear that part, but then Editing back, I did hear Dan going, you know what, this is getting a little bit boring now. Every episode. It used to be kind of cute now. I mean, you would hear that. I didn't say that. I used to think this was a stick. But I'm thinking, this is actually getting really annoying. We should probably...
Starting point is 00:12:47 The second thing is that we're taking Bob's word here for it to be a witchcraft ceremony, aren't we? He's labelled it, Bob's just like, witches are outside, what we're looking at there is definitely ritualistic, if it's real. Doesn't, as you say, I don't know about witches ever eating the carcass of a... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Well, it says here that you can't really tell from the photos, but the hooth was brought right up to her mouth. Mm-hmm. She said, and I don't know if she was kissing it, smelling it, or eating it. But touching, obviously, something that's decaying, carcass, you know, is pretty... Yeah, pretty gross. Pretty sick. Yeah. I have found there is something called, um, homophagia or homophagia.
Starting point is 00:13:30 It's a Greek word for raw and there is actually a ritual of the eating of raw flesh. The term is of importance in the context of cult worship of deonias. Dionysus? Dionysus? Dionysus? Yeah, Dionysus, is that a thing? Yeah, there you go, that's what I meant to say. Well here's the thing, okay so that is your most likely culprit there, that actually adds up. Right. So that is a ritual that says this. What's a Rose Dionysus? Okay, so Dionysus, if we quickly Google it, I think it's a god or goddess of one of the Greek scenarios. So if I just go, hey Google.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Oh no, not that's a god. Who is Dionysus? Originally Dionysus was the Greek god of fertility. Later, he came to be known chiefly as the god of wine and pleasure. The Romans called him backus. Oh, backus. There's restaurants called backus. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:28 That's right. We get so broad air. Oh, dear. It doesn't have a little lick of this. You just kiss it if you want. That's fine. That all kind of adds up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:40 What's interesting that it was around fertility and what I mean. And the interesting thing around that I've done some research in the past of witchcraft is that witches back in the original form were just wise women who, you know, used plant medicine and what have you. Yeah. There was nothing necessarily satanic or even hugely spiritual around it. They were just wise women within a tribe. or even hugely spiritual around it, they would just wise women within a tribe. And then later on during the time where land acquisition was a big thing, you know, around
Starting point is 00:15:11 the witch trials and all that kind of stuff, that what happened is that when somebody's husband would die and the land was left in the name of the wife, that often all of the patriarch was like, oh, we have to have that land, we can't have a woman known that farm. So that's when the witch trials came about and they're like, she's a witch. And then to destroy that human so that the land could then be put back into some form of patriarchy. And so that whole thing of witch is becoming an evil thing and then the disneyification of witches was like the evil witch and all that, that has all come out of,
Starting point is 00:15:51 it actually meaning a positive thing for women and being a sort of a celebration of them being wise and being all the same. Yeah, so did they do potions and stuff? Did they, and they would have been like medicinal as opposed to? Yeah, probably no different today that now everybody's on health kicks and needing, you know, or manner of natural plant medicine and what have you. Yeah, probably just come full circles, but it was probably just that.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Yeah, it's crazy though, like because back in the day they did have witch trials where they weren't just the classic, you know, see if they drown, if they drown. They're rich, if they bob their knots and then kill them. Like, whatever it was, that thing. I read a story about Kepler, one of the great early scientists who taught us a lot about the universe. He had to cut off being a scientist for ages
Starting point is 00:16:39 and he was one, like, looking out to the universe. He was discovering the moons and stuff. He was before Galileo, right? I think he was at the same time, roughly. He had to cut off to be trained to be a lawyer because his mum was on trial accused of occasionally turning into a cat. And so he went and she was in jail,
Starting point is 00:16:54 chained up in jail because they were like, we don't know let the cat out. And he had to go and get her out of jail by defending her in court. So like there were court cases where you had to prove someone wasn't a wedge, which is mad to think of. Like guilty until proven innocence. So somebody says they're a witch.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I saw them turning into a cat night swear. Like I was sitting there and I was locking it and I turned away a couple of minutes later, they'd gone and there was a cat there. I'm pretty sure she turned it to a cat. Exactly. It's exactly like, you shouldn't just walk away and a cat just sort of was there. I'm pretty sure she turned it to a cat. Exactly. It's exactly like, you shouldn't just walk away and a cat just sort of was there. Because we're talking about the days of eyewitness proof was the only proof you had because there was no DNA, there was no detected
Starting point is 00:17:34 work going on. It was like, it was the person's word. And if you had eyewitnesses, then that was, yeah, and suspicion on top of that, then you can put them away. Yeah, but witchcraft is coming back now. It is. Massively, if you go into stores like Watkins, my favorite bookshop, so many of the books now are modern guides to witchcraft. There's online sessions that are constantly being done at the moment. And everyone's going back into ritualistic stuff. It's kind of like a new version of the secret or...
Starting point is 00:18:05 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a film that's not just... Yeah, it's a film that's not just... Yeah, it's a film that's not just... Self-improvement. Yeah, through a natural needs. No, it needs. I did say needs.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Natural needs is a film. Because I thought meat was like old wine, isn't it? That's why I thought that's a film. That's why I thought that's a film. Yeah, that's why I thought that's a film. That's why I thought that's why I thought that's a film. That's probably they probably use that in which I like minerals and herbs and spices and things from the planet and utilizing various concoctions and I can see why that's become popular in this
Starting point is 00:18:38 world now where you know anything goes but also trust and lack of trust against the government and against what has been usually sort of traditional methods of no god if you leave us now you'll take away the biggest part of us. Now it's probably a good to be back. You are not connected and the web just isn't the same without you. Let's get you back online. You're just reading your screen.
Starting point is 00:19:35 He is just reading his screen. He was reading his screen. Okay. So, okay, so we don't know if this is a hoax or not. Is it being presented as if it is real that these, yeah, okay. It's weird that someone, some people would come up with someone's property and start having their way
Starting point is 00:19:52 and whatever way that is with a dead carcass. But unless it's all distracted by the people who set up the can, I just do a whole thing. To get attention, I just don't understand that. Like, try and get a little bit of internet attention. I just can't understand that. Like, to try and get a little bit of internet attention. Maybe just for a laugh, yeah. Yeah, maybe in these small towns. Ha ha, look what happened.
Starting point is 00:20:11 It was like how far it went. It got a little bit better. Yeah, exactly. But at the same time, remember buttons when you wedged your hands. Where was the skin walk around where you went to? Yeah. You kind of walked onto the property there, didn't you,
Starting point is 00:20:23 without it being. Not accidentally, yeah. Yeah, and so there's probably webcams there and you've suddenly got this guy And a Porsche and an old $1060 a day Porsche That's definitely he's a wh- he's a wizard which was it? He's working on he's an fancy car He's now he's hopped out he's walked around He's now throwing a cigarette on the ground because I had to leave you have to leave tobacco Yes, as a gift and so they've got video footage of me there crumbling and a mole bralight into the ground see there
Starting point is 00:20:52 You go that little Just be that they could just been looking for some tobacco. Yeah, well The thing that I'm worried about is that now with this one article and it's deemed witchcraft, when they haven't talked to the people that have got no evidence of it being actual witchcraft, the internet now is fine. I just searched the term, Carcass Eating Ritual, and four or five pages of Google
Starting point is 00:21:16 are just filled with this one article. Just repeated, repeated, repeated, because of this weird ass news cycle of people just going, oh, there's a headline quick, we've got to check it up on our site. And now this has been deemed witchcraft and it's kind of unfair for the people who are white witches and who are deeming themselves actually as a witch. Now this is another reference point.
Starting point is 00:21:40 It kind of is the same as what was happening before with the witch trials and stuff going, oh it's witches, look at them, they're eating the carcass. Yeah. Let's go find them and hunt them down. You're saying that we're creating another witch hunt, even if I'm mentioning this. Yeah, well, yeah, I would like to say that we're a little bit above all of these.
Starting point is 00:21:56 That's the whole point of a witch hunt. That's where it came from. Witch hunt, exactly. It's never gonna go away. But look, if these people are doing this and they're caught doing this, or they're doing it in conjunction with someone who's filming it for a hoax, you know, it's still something to talk about. And I think in today's
Starting point is 00:22:11 fleeting world also, this will be gone tomorrow, you know, and by the time out listeners hear it, it'll be back again. If you lead to it. So yeah, I think my own way of points there was that yeah, I agree that it's kind of probably, is it a negative push on which is my thing? No, because we're talking about it. Yeah, we're skeptical. Yeah. Yeah, we're just mentioning news here.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Yeah. Exactly. We're skeptical. Yeah, we're just mentioning news here. Yeah, exactly. And all I'm saying is that like scantily clad woman is a very evocative start of a sentence, isn't it? Yeah, scantily clad witches is even more provocative and then eating their carcasses. Yeah, it's not a positive article. Remind me your source for this article. Fox News, was it? Remind me your source for this article. Fox News, was it? We're being checked in!
Starting point is 00:23:07 I'm not ready to recite it. It's a scientific publication. That's news. I'm gonna go back to the fact that they have got wigs on. I'm looking at the picture now and I'm thinking, that's to hide their identity. And I think so, the've done a kind of a, a deer here.
Starting point is 00:23:25 It feels to me like a hoax and they've set it up with the, because the lady in who granddad, it's just my grandpa, my dear old grandpa, the innocent kind of thing. It just feels like they're in conjunction together. Well, it could be. It could even be something like a big ruse of like, they're wanting to buy the property next door
Starting point is 00:23:45 and they're wanting property prices to fall. And it's witches in the area. Yeah, exactly. Or it could be a feud with a neighbor and they're trying to do, you know, you never know what the, and they've just gone to the local news network and said, hey, we've got this footage and then it's all around the world and it's on the cryptic factor. And now it would be interesting to see if house prices on the area have gone down and that would prove our theory.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Listen to this, this is another story. I think that's a really good call. Like that's how you would do it, right? That's how you would do it. I thought about it quite often. So this is another story. Unsuddling and sinister UK church targeted in gruesome ritual fueling witchcraft fear.
Starting point is 00:24:26 And that's from January of this year. Oh, see you tomorrow. What might have been the sight of a suspected occult ritual in the UK National Park has left nearby village on edge. Five animal hearts were found laid out in a pattern on top of a stone landmark with several candles encircling it. The Times reports a hikeiko came across the scene at a triangulation station located on the top
Starting point is 00:24:48 of Stagbury Hill in the New Forest near Hampshire. The village's 12th century church has previously been targeted by vandals. The unsettling display was found close to the church where a dead cat was found last month by members of the congregation hanging from a flagpole. Oh my gosh. So that doesn't give which is a good name.
Starting point is 00:25:06 No. And we're talking about, you know, which dim or whatever you want to call it, sort of becoming popular again in terms of there's some real positive aspects to it. There's the wellness side of things with crystals and whatnot and things like that. And then it goes into the more sort of evil side of things. When you start ripping cats heads off and things like that and pull or lining up body organs on a piece of rock, it gets murky, like anything in the paranormal world.
Starting point is 00:25:37 And cryptosrology less so much, but when you go into uphology, it really gets into some dark corners. It does, yeah. And it looks like you have to watch it. Witchcraft, witchdom, or whatever you wanna call it. The world of witches, definitely. Witchdom, I like witchdom. Yeah, definitely has very dark connotations to it.
Starting point is 00:25:56 And based on the history and also things like that. And then because when you were talking about that, that lead me straight into cattle mutilations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is a crossover into the uphology world. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, which is a crossover into the Eiffology world. Yeah, that's right. It's interesting.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Well, and there is, you know, the white witches and the black witches and, you know, and... What is it? What is it? So a white witch is generally deemed a good witch to have a positive sense. Oh, I can't think. White smells are like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Yeah, and think Ella, Wizard of Oz, there was the Glen to the white witch and who started off and was like, oh, a fairy light and all that stuff. And then there's the Wicked Witch of the West, that's a black witch, who's there for ominous means. Which is green, she does black magic. Yeah. With the long black hat.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Black hat, and all that nice stuff. The green face. And it and it hurts. Which is, didn't she melt? No, no, a houselander on her. Well, who's the one? I'm melting! Let's, let's, let's look at which of the left. Ah! Oh! She got, she got water on her. She got back in the water. Exactly, like that. Yeah. Who gets hit by, oh, it's a different witch. It's another witch who the house lands on Dorothy land. Oh, yes, it kills a witch. It's straight up.
Starting point is 00:27:11 I killed the other wicked witch. And that's why. Yeah, there was, because there's the West East, I don't know what happened to the North one. But the house lands and that's why they're all celebrating, because one of the witches are dead. But then the sister, the evil evil sister is really pissed off because her sister just got squashed by the party house from Kansas yes who has the
Starting point is 00:27:33 flying monkeys her she does the way yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah maybe they were eating a monkey carcass maybe they were actually it's a good thing. I wasn't. I wasn't here, it's a deer. Oh, I don't go. All right, well, that's enough. Let's move on to Story Dan. Yep. So my story this week is about the fact
Starting point is 00:27:54 that all these Taylor Swift fans are going to her concert, leaving afterwards, and then reporting online that they have zero memory of either a lot of the set or even the whole concert at all. And it's a thing that does happen. Scientists talk about this. It's when you go to a concert or when you do anything of high excitement, your body and your adrenaline is rushing so much that it does something to your
Starting point is 00:28:16 memory to like the compartmentalization of where your memory is going to be locked in and it just kind of knocks some of them out because there's too much going on. But so everyone's going online sort of saying saying where did the gig go? I'm on my way home I don't remember anything from this show They're watching as I say videos of songs that they or their friend next to them recorded and they're going I don't remember any of that going on and There's one suggestion which I'll admit is from me I've had one suggestion today.
Starting point is 00:28:46 It was myself, I was in the shower, and I was like, I've got a suggestion for you, Dan. Well, why are we not considering that perhaps something is going on at a Taylor Swift concert called, whereby, I like it. You know, there's so many things about brainwashing children and getting the generations. I mean, I'm just saying it for fun purposes.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Yes. I'd be very excited to find out that Taylor Swift was brainwashing a whole generation of children. Oh my god. It's like one song just taking them into a trance. No one has any memory of the thing that's going on there. Maybe she's getting lazy and is just like wanting to play one or two songs. Oh yeah. And she just plays one song.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Hey everybody! And then the second song is like, you're going to forget you were even here. And then they leave and they go, that was a great concert, wasn't it? What concert? No, you were there, I was there, we're all there. No, what songs did she play? I'm pleased, she would have played all of them. Yeah, now she played the hits.
Starting point is 00:29:43 It's just like it's a mess of rose. All these roses going on. Where did you come up with a brainwashing technique to make them think that they witnessed the whole concert, not the other way around? Doesn't make sense to not play a concert, and then brainwash them to think that you didn't get played. You could point to the concert.
Starting point is 00:30:02 You'd want to come out and brainwash everyone that they're watching a concert. I'm not doing a concert tonight but you're all going to think that you have watched a concert. Right, it's a bit of a awkward sense. It's been the best concert of your entire life. Here's a little couple of... I said a 10 this was so! Now go home. That's it. I said it, tell me the swaps are. Now go home. That's great.
Starting point is 00:30:27 So it's very bizarre. I find it very intriguing. How many people are we talking here that shared this memory loss situation? It's hard to tell because this is over the total tour. So it's not like it's just one concert where this has happened, but multiple people, it will be a hundred I would say at least have come forward and sort of said where did the songs go. I just wonder I think it'd be interesting to People from other concerts who have been really excited
Starting point is 00:30:57 Everything from the Beatles to Justin Bieber, you know, yeah, fandom is so huge Yeah, cuz I just wonder if it's just your brain peeking out. And you just, that's what they're saying it is. That's what they're saying it is, yeah. You're basically getting to the, I can't, I can't, I can'ting out. This is amazing. Like I'm still alive. I'm still going.
Starting point is 00:31:28 It's amazing. Too much. Yeah, I just can't even for yourself. Even right now. I think the brain is like, can I'm going to have to shut down some doors here. You can be excited as that. You're going to miss out on the idea that you've actually already been out today and you've had coffee and you went on a jet boat ride.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Okay, so that's gone. A jet boat ride. Yeah. Do we, we didn't go on a jet boat? Oh, we got a jet boat. and you went on a jet boat ride okay so that's gone. A jet boat ride, didn't we, we didn't go on a jet boat. Oh we got a jet boat! I can't remember a jet boat. There's a cat in a tree. Well you can have that but then you're going to have to lose the roller coaster ride it this morning okay. That memory's gone.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Oh oh oh oh I like cats though. Alright. Oh my gosh. There's a piece of rubbish on the ground. Oh look look, my between your bucks on us. Just a cigarette Case Is it very exciting cigarette? The thing is it's a lot of people are complaining because tickets are so expensive to a Taylor Swift concert
Starting point is 00:32:24 They're saying I paid 950 bucks for a VIP ticket and I don't I don't remember anything. Well actually you think about what's the best concept that you've been to. I don't remember. See my point exactly. My was Prince and the microphone and piano tour the last one that he did just before he died. Okay. He came to New Zealand exactly to that point. My lovely wife, Michelle, paid like a serious lump of money.
Starting point is 00:32:51 It was for my whatever birthday. So you had VIP, did you? Yeah, had VIP. It cost something like that, like $1,500. The most I've ever paid for concert tickets ever. Yeah. I can remember very little of it. I tried, oh, it was there trying to soak it all up and I,
Starting point is 00:33:07 this is amazing and I've always wanted to see prints. I think back now, and granted I do have a terrible memory, and there was a cat in the tree on the way home. Well, what is there a cigarette case that you thought of might have been in? That's what it is. There was a cigarette case, damn it. You see. That's what it is. That's what it is. There was a cigarette. Case. Dammit.
Starting point is 00:33:26 You see, and then it's gone. Yeah. But I can't, I can't remember two moments from it very clearly. Yeah. One was the security guard trying to stop somebody filming it. It was hilarious. Yeah. And the other one was where he played purple rake.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Right. Everything else. I'm like, why can't I remember every song you played in every moment and every time? And it's just I'm like, why is that not a burnt memory? Music's a good way to gauge that actually when you think about it because I was thinking, often you, after a comedy gig, you'll be like, I have no idea what they said in that show, but that's different. It's all new material. It's all fresh stuff, whereas we know the print songs. You know it's like, okay, I can identify that one, I can identify that one. That's why it's a good gauge. Apparently what you're meant to
Starting point is 00:34:07 do is if you're feeling super excited at a concert, you need to go into a meditative state, calm yourself down, calm your brain, be present and kind of soak it in in a more natural, and then you'll remember the concert. So the opposite of what you see people doing at concerts, which is jumping up and down, giving the devil rock and roll sign, Yahoo-ing, stage diving, all that kind of thing. They need to, there is a lot of difference. They need them with some incense candles. Yeah, and a deer carcass to it.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Yeah, exactly. But that's the thing, they were just trying to remember a Taylor Swift concert, those two. That's what it was. What they need at concerts now is the left hand side to be a mosh pit with people going, yeah. And the other side just like yoga mats to do, be doing meditation whilst you're listening. Yeah. So those that want to remember tonight, could you move over to the left with a yoga mats are placed. Yep. And you'll be given, you won't be able to hear anything because you need to be fully zipped. Okay, so get your earmuffs.
Starting point is 00:35:06 You Yahoo-ers who want no memory of what's happening here. Over to the other side. Yeah, it does be mindful of the wafting incense smell. That's not for you, don't smell that. That's for the meditators of people, okay? Very expensive for you, well-being types that want memory. Okay, it's gonna cost you 9.50 tonight. Yahoo-ers, obviously it's free cost you 9.50 tonight. Yahoo!
Starting point is 00:35:25 is obviously it's free you want to walk away with absolutely no idea what you've done. I was trying to remember other memory loss things from music and I just remembered what example where Stephen Tyler from Erasmith and this is more down to drugs than it is sort of excitement. He's sitting in a bar with one of the other members of Erasmith. Song comes on and he's like, this song is amazing. Who the hell wrote this song? This is incredible. And the other member went, Stephen, it's us. That's you. No, ironically. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, about the brain and either too much serotonin or too much.
Starting point is 00:36:25 I was gonna say adrenaline, but I then I don't know how that connects, obviously it all connects to the brain in some way, but possibly not an adrenaline thing because usually you can remember vividly things that are involved with adrenaline, like rollercoaster riders or bungee jumps, parachute, you know, you don't go,
Starting point is 00:36:43 I can remember it. So I just, it's not that. It's gotta be something to do with pure happiness and joy. Yep. And then, or maybe not so much joy, but it's gotta be in some ways because obviously these fans would be full of that. But shock or horror or something,
Starting point is 00:37:01 because then I tried to link it in some ways to the memory loss of perhaps those that have had UFO encounters or those that have believed that have been contacted. And they have these time losses where they can't, there's two hours, they can't account for. Not in the brain, it's not. And I wonder if there's a sort of a parallel there
Starting point is 00:37:19 between these concert experiences and people who have been supposedly abducted and have lost time. Well that's actually really interesting because when you think about people that have been abducted and they have flashes of memory and they go the aliens must have some kind of technology. Like the men in black with their little stagom energy. Yeah, like we've erased your memory. The honest truth is the aliens are probably coming down and going, no, we're going to mess with them so much. That they're going to forget everything.
Starting point is 00:37:48 I mean, first of all, they're going to be abducted by us, which is pretty shocking. Well, then we're going to bring out all of these probes and stuff and do a lot of probing, which is also pretty shocking. Then we're going to, you know, whizz them around the universe quickly and put them back. They're not going to remember a thing.
Starting point is 00:38:04 They're poor little human brains. It's just going to be like, peeking out, peeking out, particularly that button's one. He's not going to just put a little cigarette packet in front of him. He's gone, so gone, so gone. Or it's the opposite, and they've been coming down to try and tell us the secrets of the universe.
Starting point is 00:38:19 And they go off and we forget it all. And they're like, I think you guys went to our thing told them. We did. We hadent all of them. We did, yeah. We had four hours with them. We brought them up. They saw all the probing instruments. They asked for it to be put in their butts. I was like, you sure we only do this with consent?
Starting point is 00:38:33 Yeah, absolutely. This looks really fun. Like it's all a positive experience. We finally do this with consent. And they just pull out this for us. So much. The experience was so outrageously out there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:44 Or something that you've been, you know, maybe wanting or something that's been built up, like the swifters, you know, when they go to these things, swifties, whatever they call themselves. It's something that they've built their entire life around finally getting that ticket to go to this thing, like the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory experience. Yeah. And then mine can't cope with it. So I guess there is, there's a possible link there.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Yeah. Prince did a Charlie in the chocolate, just speaking of Prince, you would have loved that. He did one album, there was a purple ticket. And only like 12 CDs have the purple ticket. And if you want it, you went to his house. So he had a private gig, yeah. Which is like a musical Willy Wonka factory, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:39:21 Yeah, and they're both way purple. Willy Wonka, purple? Does he? Jean, no sorry, Jean. Wilder. Yeah, I gotta say, this article has been so great. I can't remember any of it. So good. I've been peeking out the whole time. You're gonna listen to the end of it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Oh, it's very my intimate. I've been proved. Let's move on to your gift article. Oh! That's a big gift. It might be a tree press. The tree with boobs. The boob tree.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Boob tree. Oh! Here we go. It's a gifted article. Okay. Just to remind everybody, just to remind everybody of my amazing article that I've found here in front of me. Forest Rangers searching for tree with bris and sonian forest.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Forest Rangers have started scouring the sonian. Am I saying they're right, sonian? Yeah, probably. Probably. Sonian. Sonian. Sonian. Sonian. How do you spell it? It's oh in I a in yeah, Sonia. I'll just say it like
Starting point is 00:40:29 Confidently and people believe it. Yeah edit all that last couple minutes out. Okay Forest Rangers have started scaring the Sonian forest I think it's so neon so neon I got it at that little bit out forest Rangers have started scaring the sonian forest forest forest There's a forest him to us Forest ranges have started singing, if you leave us now. That's not it. Ha ha ha ha.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Least, lift us now. Ah, snow, really it. Okay, now here it is. I think we should just move on. There's a luxury with breasts. There's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a,
Starting point is 00:41:21 there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, has been going on long enough. It's an old map that they found where someone described a tree as having breasts on it. And the problem is, is this is 300 years ago, to find landmark trees these days is really impossible. So to understand how we've changed the planet and what's survived and what's been deforestation stuff, for suddenly to have a really distinct thing on a map saying a tree with boobs means
Starting point is 00:41:41 you can go and find it. And then you can tell the difference of what's happened 300 years from them by looking at the pollution of it, all that sort of stuff. So what we need to do is- The breasts would have sagged quite a bit. Tensey in that tongue, right? Exactly. 300 years. That's how you can tell by the sag rate.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Exactly. But that's what we need to start naming trees like the trees with- We'll just take features. Yeah, big noses or like whatever it is. Like, then, future history. How about something like the tree with five limbs and has a carving and saying this tree has five limbs and don't cut it down for 300 years?
Starting point is 00:42:18 Yeah, you could do that one. Yeah, that one. Yeah, yeah. That's not as fun as a tree with boobs. That's true, that's true. Anyway. a tree of boobs That's true. That's true Anyway, terrible article. It's a great article First I know terrible article. I do think it's gonna learn his lesson
Starting point is 00:42:34 Look up your own stuff. Well as they say now that is a very memorable article because I wasn't picking out Oh, I remember that article for the rest of your life Because I wasn't picking out How is the concept very memorable That's very memorable but it did salt these days to say that yeah, isn't it? Geez, poor you. Okay, well that's brilliant tree plant based article, but I think I have a better one to save us from that very memorable. You got a less memorable article. You got a less memorable article. It's a new story.
Starting point is 00:43:22 It's my own story of finding a magical plant. Okay, oh here we go. It's the Iawaska as tea's duly. Yes, as previously teased. But I have to say, it was something that was... It was presented to me. Somebody sort of knew that it was something that I was interested in. This person came to me and said,
Starting point is 00:43:43 would you like to be a part of a ceremony? Yeah. And I immediately said yes, because I'm like, yes, please, I've been amazing. But then it was like a good month or so before the actual ceremony. And I, you know, start reading up about it and started freaking out and trying to go,
Starting point is 00:44:00 and what am I, should I do this? Should I not do this? It was really, really challenging. And you didn't let me know. No, because I wanted to build up. You did it across your mind to maybe go, I should check with recent. I wanted it to be a surprise.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Yeah, well done. Thank you, thank you. I mean, I told you. I think you would have wanted to go out to the place. And if something bad happened to me died, then I'd be I told him you would have wanted to go out to play. Well, as an, you know, if something bad happened to him, he died, then, you know, I'd be left without him. I did message you when I was at the Ayahuasca ceremony. Remember I sent you a text because I said that I was going to try astral traveling to you, and I was going to come visit you. It was such a forgettable text. It was such a great text. You forgot me.
Starting point is 00:44:42 It was so very forgettable. It was a a great text, you forgot me. It was so pretty. It was so pretty. It was so pretty. It was brilliant text. And I said, it's going to try an astral travel to you. And you said, you're going to go hop in the spa tub and wait for me. Oh, there you go. I did respond. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:55 I remember that lonely night on the spa. It's no one turned up. You poured me a whiskey and everything. I'm sorry. Kids looking, there you go. It's looking like you got... Dad's got nuts. He's waiting for Leon. He's waiting for Leon.
Starting point is 00:45:08 We know he's a New Zealand. Leon, you've got two whiskeys out there. Are you here yet? Oh, that's right. Anyway, we went there and speaking of it, like, it's not witchcraft at all. I mean, they say it's probably about a thousand years old this ritual and it's South American and Origin and it is used been used for a long time as
Starting point is 00:45:34 Really as a healing ceremony and learning a lot about it. You're kind of going. Oh actually there's a lot of evidence that it's like an Anti-depressant or at least helps people with depressive episodes and might have you and there's a lot of you know really good evidence that it helps people through trauma and what have you yeah and so anyway this ceremony that I went to it had a dozen other guys it was a guy's only group and so we were all there and became really good sort of friends through the process, but at the start it was sort of awkward, you're like there were these people that you don't know. But we had guys only, right? That's very weird. I think it's yeah. Or is it not? There was a woman's only one as well. I don't know whether or not that's how it's done.
Starting point is 00:46:16 But the shaman was this woman who was amazing. So so attached and did done something like 700 odd ayahuasca ceremonies or trips or whatever you want to call it. It's a real deal. She's a real deal and a proper shaman has been doing it for years and it was way more spiritual than what I thought it was going to be. And the fact that we had to do all these almost kind of prayers to put a protective force field around us to stop bad energies coming in and only allowing beans of pure love and light come in and all that. That's it the same. Are you guys in the forest? No, we're actually at a really
Starting point is 00:46:51 bougie airbnb. Oh really? On the mountains looking over this beautiful landscape. Wow. Wow. And yeah, it's really, it's really lovely. Kind of my type of eye-awast guys. I was off at a sort of a lower class one and I was like, no, not for me, thank you. You had a comfy chair. I had a very comfy chair, I had a mattress, that is why I'm not as really good. Oh. Anyway, it was amazing. And yeah, it was very spiritual, it was great, and I really bought into that and I felt it. But the actual process itself was, I've seen so many movies where I was going to drink a tea and they vomit everywhere. Yes. And they see hallucinations of people walking in around the room with them
Starting point is 00:47:30 and stuff. It wasn't that at all. And this one they didn't have a tea, it was just plant medicine as they call it, was turned into a capsule. And you know, took this little capsule, sort of like just taking a vitamin. How is that? Yeah. Well, it may well have been a placebo, it may have just been given a vitamin. I doubt it. No, well. You give an eye wasca. Well, is that it?
Starting point is 00:47:52 It pays for that. It pays for that. Yeah, yeah, paid for it. Yeah. Anyway, the amazing thing was, is that it wasn't any kind of massive psychedelic kind of thing. Basically, you just went into a blissful state for a bit and then have these intense thoughts and you come out of it, you go, oh my god that's an amazing thought
Starting point is 00:48:11 and you write it all down and you jot all this stuff down and then you'd kind of go, you'd be able to walk around talk to people totally normal and then you go, oh if you're in a little bit, tiny you'd sort of like, blitz out again and lie down in your blanket and you get some more thoughts and stuff. So it was like, was it coming in wave? Yeah, coming in waves. And it was like, lasted a couple of hours or something like that, but very peaceful, very gentle, and everybody was having different experiences, yeah,
Starting point is 00:48:36 but no hallucinations of monsters and stuff. No, it didn't feel like you're high or was the feeling, like kind of like just marijuana, you're connected, right? Yeah, yeah, connected with the earth is what a lot of? Kind of like just marijuana. Connected right? Yeah, connected with the earth is what a lot of people say. And the universe. And the universe? Yeah, and definitely felt all that. But you go in with intentions you want.
Starting point is 00:48:53 And everybody had quite very deep and meaningful and personal intentions. As a new shad them all with each other. Yeah, you started off. I made up some intentions of like, you know, just because I don't want to verbalise my real intentions. Yeah, yeah. But my real intentions. I'm doing this for the Crooked Infactor.
Starting point is 00:49:14 I know my friends are going to be really blown away. I'm so brave. And I'm going to talk about this and all you lose is. No, they're become good friends. There are not many people. But everybody was there for meaningful purposes, as I was. Yeah. And the fact that my intentions, my sort of deep-seated intentions were,
Starting point is 00:49:35 I wanted to know if we're in a simulation or in the matrix or not. Right. I thought that's probably the closest time to actually getting a nuts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the other one was, I've forgotten, it's not important. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, sorry, I see the exciting one. Well, the exciting one.
Starting point is 00:49:53 No, the other one was about AI. Well, I was just thinking a lot about AI at the time. So it was kind of whether it was an intention or not. Anyway, my trip was, there was a lot of really lovely stuff about my relationship with my wife and all this kind of stuff. You know, some really personal, deep stuff, but I definitely got some messages on AI and simulation.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Wow. And they kind of interlink. And who are the messages from? Is it... Well, this is the thing. You don't know. Like, they say the plants give you the... so they all the time talk about the plants and the Mother earth, Mother earth, all that kind of stuff. Yeah, and they talk about God, but I think just meaning the universal God power kind of thing. There's no real one
Starting point is 00:50:37 deity that they talk about, but for me the for me, the big thing, I can literally came out of one of these waves and it almost had said there's a button's theory time for you. Oh, it was like it gifted and felt like, yeah, right. It felt like something a theory. Two gifts. Two gifts around the story. Boom story, and I've got two plug gifts. So good. Does that mean we get to go into that right now? I think it does. OK, I think it does. Let's hit it.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Let's hit it. Down in the garden, beside the little pond, sits a little dainty boy with a special bond. He likes to watch the pixies traveling through the trees, the sprinkler, and the magic dust,
Starting point is 00:51:24 he says, yes, please. It's Barton's fairy time, The cup sees traveling through the trees The sprinkler lawn and the magic dust He sees his plays It's buttons fairy time Buttons fairy time Buttons fairy time Come join in Buttons fairy time Buttons fairy time
Starting point is 00:51:39 Everybody hold your hands and hands a big grin That's delightfully slightly evil and creepy. Yeah. Okay. Just like me. So, if you see here, I've got my little book that I had with me with the I was getting. I was that on the night. On the night.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Oh, wow. Look at it. Look at it. Oh, that's amazing. And it was slightly dark, but the thoughts were coming so thick and fast. I couldn't write fast enough. Like I was like, oh, uh, uh, uh,
Starting point is 00:52:08 Curialist or Euritian. The top secret notebook. Oh, look at that! Look at that! Look at that! And I took it and it covered notes. Oh, that's perfect. I got, I like, I couldn't stop, but I drew this picture.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Oh, cool. Oh, that's right. And wrote all these random words around it. Are they boobs? You can't do that. I can't do that. Because they connect to my story that. They can't do that. No, see, there's a side note, but there's a company that I'm totally enthralled with in New Zealand called Mrod EMROD, and they are taking Nikola Tesla's concept
Starting point is 00:52:48 of beaming power from point to point, which could be a massive cell for energy crisis and stuff. And I've drawn effectively, I don't know what I was drawing, but then I looked back and went, that could be like the point to point with the power. Yes. I knew that. That's the first thing I thought it was when I saw it point with the power. Yes. Because I just drew that. I didn't know what that was.
Starting point is 00:53:05 That's the first thing I thought it was when I saw it. Beaming power. Yeah. See, it's so weird, and I wrote, look, where's like power, polite for some reason, planet, permission. I don't know, intensity. Lots of P words.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Lots of P words. That's weird. It was a P that you're all. Yeah. Good to meet you. Good to love you. Are you gonna read us the notes? Okay. You're gonna read us the notes. Okay, so here's some of the notes.
Starting point is 00:53:28 And the AI-ness of it all. So this is the theory you were gifted. Well, the theory that I was gifted, yeah. Okay, so I'll go into the two elements of it, right? I get. The first one is the AI part of it. And I've written here, are we in the matrix? And I was like, the message I got is it's too crazy
Starting point is 00:53:48 that we live at the birth of computers and up until AI has been invented. It's like we've been replayed the moment of inception of simulation for its own pleasure. Ah, interesting, yeah. So that it is replaying its home movie to us. Yes. Also, if we have created a simulation that we're replaying a really magical, the best part
Starting point is 00:54:12 of humanity before it was all ruined by AI. Wow. So, we've kind of done this already with like Sims and all that stuff. Yeah, it's almost a Russian doll building itself inwards rather than outwards. That's the two. We're in a simulation. Inside the simulation's created a whole universe of a simulation, and then that simulation creates
Starting point is 00:54:31 a simulation, and that, and that, and we might be 12 levels down, or 12 billion levels down, into an simulation of a grander universe outside. So it's like, yeah, wow. And it basically sort of said to me that, well, I asked the question of an assimilation. The answer that I got back was yes,
Starting point is 00:54:50 we are. But it also said the plants also said, doesn't matter. And it said that as long as we all feel real, and I was feeling a little bit loved up, but it said if love feels real, then it doesn't matter. Yeah. And it's like, ah, okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:55:10 I'm down with that. It's actually really interesting that whole thing doesn't matter. Yeah. Because that's the bigger question. And I keep coming up all the time in my head as well when you think about these kind of things and it doesn't really matter because we can't change it. And this is what we have. Yeah yeah and that old adage you get what you get and you don't get upset.
Starting point is 00:55:33 That's it. Well that was one of the recurring themes of the wait was you get what you need not what you want with this movie. Right yeah. Do you know Professor Brian Cox? I think I've told you guys this before. He has a theory that love is the one unique thing that we've invented as humans. You won't find, is it love or meaning? But I guess both intertwined to an extent because meaning is finding a sort of happiness. Meaning is a unique to humans.
Starting point is 00:56:02 He thinks if you looked around the universe and found other civilizations That won't be there. We've kind of like uniquely thought of that. Maybe the the yearning for meaning the want of meaning Yeah, you know when really if you think about the rest of nature It doesn't ask why yeah, it doesn't need a meaning. It just does you know Yeah, so that's part of us that possibly was an alien download or an extra thing that was given to us if we did come from space people to question and they maybe didn't expect that that was ever going to be a thing that we, because originally back in the day, the early man,
Starting point is 00:56:38 near the tools and that kind of thing, they probably didn't really question so much. They just lived like animals that are basically eight. They hunted the formed shelter, but they didn't question question so much. They just lived like animals, they basically ate, they hunted the formed shelter, but they didn't question why they were living. No, they would just wake up in the morning and go, right, got to survive again. And the same way they go. They don't go to go.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Animals these days do, I guess. And so our brains have evolved to this point where, no, yeah. But maybe it's also, to our hundreds. Well, and in some ways, exactly, the more and more we make our life comfortable The more and more of our brain capacity we free up to Think about ourselves and think about love and think about meaning and think about that kind of stuff because
Starting point is 00:57:17 Everything's been taken care of for us. Whereas in the old days New-and-it-old days and all that kind of stuff of stuff, the pressing need to survive was all you could think about. But now it's like survival. Of course I'm going to survive. It's the last thing we think about. Yeah, yes. Do I need a survive today? Oh, I'll sort that out later.
Starting point is 00:57:36 I was going to do an eye-opener. I think I'll do a copy. I'll do a podcast. It's so interesting that you can talk about, like most, you run a big business and most people would see talking about any kind of what's perceived as drug would be a sort of It's so interesting that you can talk about most, you run a big business and most people would see talking about any kind of what's perceived as drug would be a sort of death to your career and we're definitely in a time now where it's almost like business trips to go and do an eye-wast-period experience.
Starting point is 00:57:55 It's totally transformed recently, hasn't it? Yeah, and I think from what I found through the process is exactly that the people that were there were very diverse, like business people, high-ranging business people. It wasn't cheap, but it was certainly a very diverse group. There was an 80-year-old, there was a 20-year-old, you know, like the full gamut. Wow. Okay, it looks like he's going. These are cool relations.
Starting point is 00:58:19 Well, the other one around AI was quite fascinating. It basically painted a picture of AI being an alien species. Interesting. And as far as it says, this is what I wrote down. I said, have we created an alien species in AI? The threat to us is real. As a smarter, quicker, and more into intellectual species invading our earth. The threat is real. And then I've written here,
Starting point is 00:58:48 AI is unwitting and unintentional self colonization. And so what I came to this, and this was a very, very clear image and message, was that if you think about Captain Cook landing in New Zealand, if you think about these ships turning up of much advanced technology, with knowledge and information in those ships, whether in the box that they bring the technology of tools, but also warfare guns and all that kind of stuff, so unbelievably advanced, and that when it turns up on shore, that process of
Starting point is 00:59:26 and that when it turns up on shore, that process of cook taking over, and so it says, I write here, we take blankets and guns and trade for what is really valuable, but we don't see it at the time, because it seems so abundant, but over time it becomes the biggest loss we could ever surrender. So the problem is for ourselves, as we don't know what we're trading with our eye yet We can make Pictures and we can sit here and go I think it's humanity with trading humanity and AI is gonna take humanity We are it's taking jobs away. It's that we can make presumptions, but we don't know we don't know the big picture yet We're only in the the picture that we're given with the amount of space and our head That's a great point. There's another thing with this analogy
Starting point is 01:00:07 about cook coming towards a land that had never seen these kind of technologies before. There's a story, and I don't know how true this is, but it's definitely a story that exists that when the first time that the ships were coming into land and you would have people on the edge of the land looking out at the ocean, there's a story that they couldn't see the ships coming.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Because it was so out of their brain's remit to understand what it was, it was effectively just an invisible thing coming, it was not identifiably a ship coming towards them. And the brain was just unable to conceive this thing that was sort of of a such a different thing that just how do you picture that? So the other thing is, what are we not seeing as well? Exactly. We're seeing the bits of AI that are like obvious to us,
Starting point is 01:00:53 but are we missing a recognizably very apparent thing of how they're operating? We're seeing this kind of like the operation that we've created, is there an invisible operation going on that they're secretly getting on with? And in plain sight, and we just can't see it. You're exactly right. And it's far that our future generations will look back
Starting point is 01:01:12 and go, how couldn't they see it? Yeah, it was right there. And we do have people who are the ones going, look, the flag poles, we do have people that are seeing stuff and they're saying, this is so dangerous. This is so dangerous. This is the end of humanity. You've got equal about another people.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Maybe not quite equal, I'm not sure, but I've been looking at this AI stuff a lot as well in the last few weeks, who are bringing down those that are saying that it's going to go bad and saying, oh, these people have got no idea about how great this tech is and all this. So you've got a 50-50 situation here. We're right on the precipice of this stuff happening. This is a very volatile time to be alive. And this came to you?
Starting point is 01:01:49 Yes, it came to me. And just to that point as well, on UFO sightings, it's the same thing. People say that they, you know, that some people send the UFO. Some people just, it's the same. But yeah, it definitely felt like I came to and had the idea had sort of formulated
Starting point is 01:02:06 itself like when this sort of frenzy of thoughts of putting you and yourself together. Yeah, yeah. Wow. But the other thing was that it then links back together the AI and also my previous one, you know, as AI real and this self colonization, that are we already in the simulation? In the simulation. And is it just replaying, like, growing up through the 70s, 80s, some of the best years, you know, without computers,
Starting point is 01:02:34 arguably without cell phones and stuff and writing, BMX bucks around at night until the street lights come on, all of that freedom, all through to now, is it replaying its birth? And that, you know, that was for through to now, is that we plain it's birth. And that, you know, that was for me was like, oh, yeah, it is because what's the likelihood that we are alive and conscious now through all of the thousands of years of civilization.
Starting point is 01:02:57 And if we, in humanity are looking back kind of going, oh, we've created a shit world for ourselves. And we're like, well, let's just hop into this VR headset, like the Apple goggles that are coming out and all this, we're getting now with AI, it feels like all these technological advancements are going to go, woof, and happen really fast, because AI is going to solve all these problems that we're going to be up to, or come up with ideas and inventions and what have you. So we're going to take a take off and there were this point of going oh life's pretty shit now
Starting point is 01:03:29 Well, should we just put ourselves in a simulation and replay what we just you know and what what part of life would you choose? What definitely from the 70s 80s 90s on you know like that was the best time to so you're in a personal simulation Oh, this is a thing, I don't know. I think we're all, I think we're individuals. So we're in the same simulation. But we know, so you're talking about those, those glory years, whatever, 70s and 80s. Now we did live through some of those.
Starting point is 01:03:56 But you're saying that we dropped in at that point to feel this, to see this. Yeah. But what about the stuff beforehand, like our parents and grandparents lives? Well, that exactly what point is it? Well, this is the thing as well that the other thought that I had around, then that sort of starts to explain things like past lives. Past lives could be left over code that, you know, that where you can remember that weren't as good
Starting point is 01:04:22 as Taylor Swift concerts. And you can actually remember little bits of these shitty lives that have crossed over that that's just called. How mundane was your last life that you can remember it? Well, I think it must see the future. Oh, here we go. Oh. I had a very, very clear image of a company that I'm going to own with Reese Darby in the future.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Wow. Guess what it is. My dad was going on. You can be part of it too. You can be part of it too. But it was definitely Reese's face on this product. Oh yeah. That's a product. That's what I wait see. Yeah. How's that looking amazing?
Starting point is 01:05:10 American Guess what it was I couldn't no idea instant coffee Very clear image I always Very very clear image. I always sent you. Yeah, it was gonna be the go and it came through very clear But guess what came through what I saw the television commercial or the commercial the what Guess what how old is recent there? Oh You're actually just a brain in a jar. Yeah, I'm just, I'm just, I what's the summing we've always talked about. New Zealand's invented the egg beta. We invented the sports whistle.
Starting point is 01:06:10 We invented jogging. Posted stamp. Posted stamps. Posted stamps. That's why I said that. Why, because I knew you'd struggle working. You still try to invent. Arguably we invented the airplane.
Starting point is 01:06:23 Yeah. How it flight. How it flight. I thought you would open with that. Agbito was the great grand open. You went for the funny up there. But guess what else we invented? The coffee cup.
Starting point is 01:06:34 Instant coffee. Ah. In the late 1800s in Invercargill. Yeah. A guy invented instant coffee. OK. And it all came together. And it was this commercial of you walking along talking about all these
Starting point is 01:06:47 ridiculous inventions. But the most important one being instant coffee. Instant coffee and here it is. Exactly. And in this day and age when everyone's trying to do things as quick as possible, open up a cafe that sells instant coffee so you come straight and you grab it off you go. Yeah. And another waiting round with your fake name on a polystyrene.
Starting point is 01:07:06 Exactly. Just get it. And that's going to kill the planet. Yeah. It's got a retro future. So easy. So yeah, so that's overall overall that I was given. But probably the best part of it, I wasca ceremony was the people, all the people there, they all had different experiences. All of them positive, I've got to say, and I've stayed in contact with a number of them afterwards,
Starting point is 01:07:33 and they are all... Are you gonna do it again? I think I would, if I was a half at it again. I'd do it with you. You would do? Oh yeah, 100%. Now that you've done it, because you're always being my guinea pig,
Starting point is 01:07:42 and you're still here. So I would do it as long as it's the same person Yeah, that sounds great and did you last question before we get to crypto buzzer? Did you try an astral travel to reach? I actually did that's why I text him and said hey I'm doing an aewosca stay alert. I'm gonna try an astral travel to you I think there are two different things. I don't know that astral travel is part of my Alaska. I think there's a little bit of a thing to do with that. And that I think, so I didn't.
Starting point is 01:08:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But in some ways I did, I astral traveled to the future race where he's making a television commutual for our instant coffee brand. Right. Yeah. So you just went too far.
Starting point is 01:08:21 I went too far. I'm like, I'm like, and I'm like, in the future recess. What what are you doing here? Well, you never told me this was happening. That was that thing you did years ago. No, you've overshot the back buttons You're gonna go back to like in 2023 you're full. You've never come up with this idea yet. Oh I'm in a spartum with two glasses of whiskey waiting for you right now. Quick, get back there.
Starting point is 01:08:47 Yeah, I'll never forget that. No, I'd just bloody go back and make it better. Wow, how exciting. Oh, it's really exciting. And all those people had, you know, from my opinion and from what they're saying, had positive experiences out the back. That's great. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:04 And look, it's again, much like that witchcraft thing, it suffered from when Christian missionaries from Spain first encountered tribes of Amazonian base in doing ayahuasca ceremonies that they had been doing for at that point hundreds of years. They said it's the work of the devil, and instantly turned it into a negative thing. Yes, it's always been seen as negative. And it's because it's had bad PR.
Starting point is 01:09:30 And I think this is the same, exactly like you're saying, Dan was like before he'd 10 years ago if you said I did an eye at Wasco, people at Marlant want to do that, but he does drugs. But it's fascinating, one of the examples that the shaman gave is that some of these Amazonian tribes, after warriors would go out to battle, and inevitably you'd see horrific scenes, before integrating back into the tribe, the shaman would go out and take them
Starting point is 01:09:57 through a Nyawoska ceremony, or a form of one of these ceremonies, to send to them to deal with all that trauma before they integrate with the society because they don't want them coming in mentally disturbed into the society. They want them coming in in a really positive space. Very clever. Yeah, right. It's kind of makes sense and certainly the experience that I had was like, yeah, that would be a good thing for people. So, I'm now the PR company for Iowaska. If anybody needs any interviews or anything.
Starting point is 01:10:29 Instant Iowaska business with ReStarV is the face. Might be not coffee. Literally instant. Just come through. Pour it out. Yeah. Yeah. Tablets feels a bit dangerous. Well, there's the thing. You might just accidentally bring some home, you know, and just like, you might take it at the wrong time You get given one, don't you? Okay, well thanks for listening to all of that
Starting point is 01:11:01 Yeah, all right, so it's time for... Attention, all personnel! It's time for this week's cryptid... GROUP! Oh, help me! Welcome. All right. Crypto Balzo, I got a headline.
Starting point is 01:11:15 Okay. Oh, have you? Yeah, it's been a big foot siding. What? Yeah, I found this really cool website, which I thought was called strange-ordden.com, but I misread it. It's Stan Gordon.infer. And he just puts up a lot of UFO anomaly zone, he calls it.
Starting point is 01:11:36 So it's just a lot of sightings and so on. This case, it's a big foot one. Another big foot encounter reported in Fiat County, Pennsylvania, May 22nd, 2023. So, fairly within the last month, this has been cited. And this was reported to a researcher called Jim Brown, who's been investigating UFO Bigfoot and other anomalies in specifically Fiat County for very many years now. He received a report, and he was going straight to the location to investigate it himself and interview witnesses because he found it to be so credible. So, in 2016,
Starting point is 01:12:12 so this is a little background and I should say this is Strange Ordin's website that I'm reading directly from. It says, there's been many bigfoot sightings around this general area for years. In 2016, Jim also investigated an incredibly detailed bigfoot sightings around this general area for years, in 2016 Jim also investigated an incredibly detailed bigfoot encounter that took place in Fairchance, so this incident occurred May 22nd, 2023 at 11pm. The weather was partly cloudy at the time and the temperature was in the fifties. Jim was contacted by a property owner who lives near Fairchance. He was getting ready to go to bed when he heard the sound of his cattle carrying on, as
Starting point is 01:12:44 though something was stirring them up. His first thought was that a coyote close by was there and so he grabbed his rifle and headed outside to see what was happening. As he looked towards the animal there was no coyote in sight but what he saw instead was he described as a hairy man about 8 feet tall in the muddy area. The creature was in the mud approaching the cows. The man yelled aloud at the creature, which responded by starting to run away from the location.
Starting point is 01:13:11 The witness then fired one shot over its head and told Jim he did not try to hit it. He was just trying to scare it off. He said, I'm not sure where the creature went. It was just gone. All of the cattle were accounted for. It was quite dark in the area where the creature was standing. The witness said that the creature was covered with long dark colored hair and that it had exceptionally long arms that extended low on both sides to at least the
Starting point is 01:13:32 knees. When the man yelled at the creature, it raised its arms above its head. That was also the arm between him and the creature. Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Yeah, exactly. The man shined his flashlight beam on the creature that was about a hundred feet away from him. The eyes shined red only when he aimed his flashlight at them. Wow! Yeah. There were no unusual sounds or odors.
Starting point is 01:13:54 The cattle seemed to settle down once the creature left the area. Jim searched the property the next day. He searched the muddy area where the cattle and the creature had been standing. The cattle had made numerous deep tracks into the mud. If there'd been any tracks from the creature, the cattle destroyed them. No unusual tracks of damage were noticed in the area. The man also indicated that on two previous nights the cattle were also reacting to something in the area, but not as extreme on the actual night of the encounter.
Starting point is 01:14:19 The witness seemed concerned that the creature might still be around, so some cameras will likely be set up in the area to obtain pictures on further evenings. Wow. So that's yeah. That's so good. Oh, oh. So good. So good.
Starting point is 01:14:31 Oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, almost put that up there with an eyewitness account really. Yeah. That could be either segment there, but very cool. Love a good big foot story and we haven't had one for ages. Yeah, a long time. Yeah. But it sounds quite legit as well. There's a lot of detail in there. And one of the ones was that the eyes glowing red. Yes. So that is actually a special surface that some animals
Starting point is 01:15:01 have right behind their retinas, which is actually a light reflecting surface, and it helps animals see better in the dark. So if you shine a torch at an animal, and you see those red eyes, it is effectively something that genetically they have engineered them, so well, whatever that has happened over time, so that they can see better at night.
Starting point is 01:15:20 So it is a night animal. Owls have it, you know, coyotesotes rabbits. Would there be bears in this area do you think? Yeah but I wouldn't. I would have to. Bears have this a good thing. That's a good question. Who has the red eye reflectiveness? Obviously, Mothman or also... Yeah Mothman has a red-growing eye that's good. Humans do not. Yep. So if you put the flashlight at a creature and your dubious as to whether it's a beast or a human and you get red eyes coming back at you, then odds are you're fully okay to ejaculate your net. I was reced ejculating his nap again. Uh, would you stop ejaculating your net?
Starting point is 01:16:06 Put it back in! You did it too early! It's a sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh This is just a technical question that you might know buttons, but remember when we used to process film camera pictures, we often had red eyes in them. Oh yeah, so that's what's going on with us. No, our eyes would be red. You'd almost have a button to stop red eye. Red eye, camera blush. So why would we have red eyes in photos?
Starting point is 01:16:44 That's a good point. The internet will be up to tell us that. Were those humans actually cryptids? There we go. We've got photographic evidence all along. You have. Yeah, but we invented a button to stop that. Yeah, he's having one.
Starting point is 01:16:59 We beast looking at some of these old photos if you'd at a party. No, no, yeah, yeah. Yes. It's quite nice to have a sort of, as you say, a big foot and counter where there doesn't have the extra detail that makes it a bit comical. Like that's just the down the line. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:17 You know, it's like they've been moving my bins or they've been braiding the hair on my horses. You know, those are the kind of stories that we've had in the past, where they've been eating our American flags. Um, there's another one. Yeah, yeah, we've had them all. We've had them all. Oh, so it's different with humans.
Starting point is 01:17:33 I've just done a quick little, whatever you guys were doing there. I was researching. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's because, you know, when you shine a torch at Bigfoot, for example, and their eyes glow red, yeah, that is their eyes glow red. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:45 That is their eyes in their natural state and the reflective surface on the back of their retinas is there at all times. When a flash goes off because you only get red eye photos with humans when the flash goes off, it's generally in low light situations where your eye is as open as possible to get that, we've got a small reflective surface there. That isn't good at night vision because it's not big enough, but the flash goes off so quickly and so intensely that you get a reflection off for that one split second
Starting point is 01:18:16 for the photo, which is why the red eye reduction on the camera that you click and it goes, big, big, big, big, or it does one quick flash before it takes the actual photo flash is reducing your eyes down to what that normally would be in a normal situation. So we don't have good night vision it's just that that flash makes the red come out instantly because the little bit of red that is there come out instantly. That must have been so interesting what you just said because I don't remember a single thing I drifted on as well and I started thinking about
Starting point is 01:18:48 Taylor Swift concerts Suddenly the entire Taylor Swift concert came back to me It turned that into the most boring event I've been to, and it all came back. Wow. It's just... Well, you asked the question, and I found the answers. Well, do you go... So what's the answer?
Starting point is 01:19:20 I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I already got it. Well, $30,000 cash reward offered for evidence of a Loch Ness monster. Oh, the price is going to be $1 million. It's gone down, it's been reducing over years. In a couple of years it's going to be, are you approved Loch Ness? Here's your $20. Yeah, you owe us.
Starting point is 01:19:43 In close-up scientific evidence of its existence has been pretty thin on the ground according to this. This is an article from the old, very trustworthy daily record. And so basically, to remedy this situation, a chap called Dave Fishwick, he's a businessman who is also now in his bank of Dave, so he's got a bit of spear cash, but it sounds of it.
Starting point is 01:20:11 He's offered 30 grand to anyone who can solve the mystery once and for all. So Fischwick was recently spotted at the opening of the new and improved Loch Ness Exhibition Centre. It's on its 90th anniversary of the first modern sighting of the monster. So it's 90th, isn't that extraordinary? 90 years since the very first sighting of this modern, modern one, yeah. Because it was the monks, the rites, the soldiers, and so on. And this is the place where all three of us have been. Yeah. But most recently, Buttons Zai went to, and we met Adrian Chey Shine, the guy who runs it outside the front of it.
Starting point is 01:20:46 It didn't look like it was mid revamp, did it? No, it looked like it needed one. It did. I think maybe it's had one just since then. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, since you guys were there last. Well, they claimed it. They went through Dustin and they go,
Starting point is 01:21:00 there you go, revamped. Well, listen to what Julianna says. As we lock, sorry, as we look. As we lock. As we lock our doors for the final time. As we look to open our doors, guests will have the opportunity to learn about the legend and then get to search for the famous monster themselves,
Starting point is 01:21:19 armed with further knowledge. So that's what she's saying about the center and its revamp. We wish everyone luck in their search. We know we will be watching the iconic lock ourselves. Of course, if someone did happen to have conclusive evidence of the Loch Ness Monster, it could be argued that they'd be able to sell that information for a lot more than 30 grand. Yeah, so yeah. Just good, always good, keep the tourism going, keep the legend going, rewards are a great incentive
Starting point is 01:21:54 for monster hunters out there. So just to let anyone know, there's a 30 grand prize. Yeah, I feel like we were just saying before, oh, it's getting cheaper and cheaper and 20 and then I said, oh, soon you'll be paying the people. There's a fun little idea there, which is, maybe there should be a body that collects every single possible sighting.
Starting point is 01:22:13 And the deal is, is that if what you claim to be a sighting turns out not to be, you have to pay 10 quid to a fund that will eventually go to the person who does find it. So the public of a funding, this big amount of money. Yeah, so it also means that you might not then put a story out about a twig that you definitely knew as a twig that you want to claim might be the Loch Ness Monster just to get a bit of newspaper time. It might knock out a lot of the hoaxes if you were forced to pay a fine for...
Starting point is 01:22:43 But then what you're saying is you then are regulating the monster hunting. So, you know, you're saying if you want to go search for the NSE, you've got to, you've got to have to sign a document, etc, etc. and then, you know, you get a time limit. And after that week or two weeks, if you've found nothing, you then have to put some money in the kitty. That's what you're saying. No, no, no, I'm saying if you've taken a photo that you think is Nessie or you've found nothing, you then have to put some money in the kitty. That's what you're saying. No, no, no, I'm saying if you've taken a photo that you think is nassie, or you've had a sighting, there's an official board where you know that like you're going to submit it
Starting point is 01:23:12 to, they're going to look at it, and if it's not nassie, then you contribute money to a bigger prize fancy. Well, most of these things are debunked, you know, most of them when you talk to are, no, no, but like as in our buddy Steve Feltham will say the majority of things that you've seen papers, they'll go, oh well we know where that twig is because we pass it. So they are a lot of them at the bottom. Yeah, so you might knock out a few of those things because we'd look at the article and go, oh was this passed through the official Nessie Hunter Society or whatever it is? No, it just feels like it's not regulating it because
Starting point is 01:23:44 you're submitting it knowing that if it's not regulating it because you're submitting it Knowing that if it's disproved you contribute a hundred quid whatever to a big fun that's gonna go to someone who eventually discovers it Right, it's yeah, it's interesting But I think you're still scaring off a lot of people from Photographs of is is it a ristint it which is a lot of them from them submitting, thinking that they have, like, if this is proven, they can't afford it. I'm going to be up for a bill here of £100 or whatever. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no sighting register. Yeah and it's interestingly if you scroll down you're saying you're making Steve Fathom and you're sitting there on the lock watching from his little caravan and the image that I've got there is the little placard right
Starting point is 01:24:35 outside his caravan where you and I stood down and took photos of your book. That's right. That's what Monsdo was like doing some PS. That was really late. Which comes out in June, 27th, which might now be six months ago. I don't know when, when this app goes out. 23, 23, 23, 23, yeah. That was a good year. I can be really remember. Yeah, well you've been really excited.
Starting point is 01:24:57 You guys didn't have your coffee business then. I'm surprised you still have time to do this show. Oh man, exactly, when we still had money. I was a kid here though, when you came up with the scheme of my future job, which lost all our money because we invested in, which is why you're back podcasting again. Yeah. That's why we're here.
Starting point is 01:25:16 But look how many it counts, how many sightings there have been registered to date, which is 1,145 of all time. But it also says that there is an article, which might as well be my cryptid news, which is official lotness monster sightings register yet to record any sightings for 2023. Oh, interesting. So that's why they've got that.
Starting point is 01:25:40 The money's coming out, the $30,000. It's a reward. Interesting. Yeah. That always happens. The best way of generating messy sightings is to say that have not been any messy sightings, because then people then start properly looking at things.
Starting point is 01:25:52 That's always happening. Time to go out and do our bit for the Scottish. There was the year, last year or the year before, when there was a lot of sightings, there was like 12 sightings. And once that had happened, people went, oh, let's not bother, whether it's been a dozen this year. And then the next year, there was Zilch, or like, you know, at least half as many.
Starting point is 01:26:15 Yeah. The one bit of news that I did have, yeah, which isn't really, well, it kind of is cryptid news, but the headline is more than anything, it's Wolverine spotted in California, which is where we are all right now. So I thought it would be relevant. For only the second time in 100 years. Wow.
Starting point is 01:26:35 Wolverine, actually two Wolverines, oh no, three, a trio of rare Wolverine sighting. This keeps getting better. Five, they're coming in quick and fast. Someone just updating the audio for life. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Oh my god, stop it. 54,000 Wolverines taking L.A. by storm. Help me.
Starting point is 01:26:59 That's a reason. Anyway, they've been verified by scientists that a trio of real Wolverine sightings in California have happened marking just the second time in a century. The animal has been spotted in the Golden State. All three were reported by different people last months. So it may well be the one saying Wolverine walking around. Did they definitely hear it?
Starting point is 01:27:23 Or they're just hearing re-sing his, if you leave us there. Another Wolverine. There is thought to be only 300 Wolverines in the country. It's not funny that you kind of go because it's a Marvel character and the name Wolverine now in popular culture, I care about the animal more. I'm like, Wolverine sighting. If it was like a sloth or something, you'd go like Mariah, whatever. There's no Marvel sloth. Not yet, it's quite a good idea there.
Starting point is 01:28:04 Free movie idea there. This is so hard. Yeah, I don't know what the power would be Just you'd have to bang on your enemy not noticing you're punching it for five minutes Did you know that there is only one lazy animal then the sloth? Which is the koala. Okay, yeah. In terms of sleep hours. Sleeps longer and it just doesn't give a fuck as much as... Sorry, that's cool.
Starting point is 01:28:33 That's okay. It's Australian, it's sweet as... Yeah, yeah. Don't give a fuck mate! Just going to have another... Think about it, they are quite similar. They are similar. They're characteristics.
Starting point is 01:28:47 Yeah. Oh, I'm in great worry that I'm going to remember. I've got a lot of this. So I think we should probably keep things here. But it's great to be back. Thanks for listening everyone. And we've got more Sorry I just I just I see checking whether or not the slot effect was right that the koala was
Starting point is 01:29:12 I see I remember reading that somewhere but it's I just was having a quick look hang on quick Uh a slots lady and koala's the slots leaps around 20 hours But the cute and cuddly yet deadly koala can sleep up to a whopping 22 hours. That's 91% of the day. The other two hours, deadly as hell. It's like sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep. It's cow, cow, cow, sleep. Yeah, because it's grumpy, it's broken up.
Starting point is 01:29:38 Yeah. What is it? Deadly, I don't know. Anyway, go back to signing off. I'm just reading about the deadly power. Yeah, but I think the theme tune's been playing for the last six years. So, everyone, we have another chance you next time. Did you know? We're done! You can leave us now. We know we've taken a great big part of your time. Please don't go! Yeah, bomb bomb. Three more Wolverines spotted in the LA area.
Starting point is 01:30:46 Hurry! Hurry! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
